Kickoff 2010: Saddleback Valley Christian Warriors

Last season record:

7-5, 5-1 (T-1^st San Joaquin)

Postseason:

2009, lost to Rio Hondo, 68-6, in Northeast Division quarterfinals

Coach:

Gary Chambers (4^th year, 29-7)

Home stadium:

San Juan Hills HS

Outlook:

Despite some departures, the Warriors still have some intriguing athletes. Wide outs Curran John and Sinjin Ogan are two players to watch. Joey Molina is a standout lineman. But SVC is in rebuilding mode. All-CIF quarterback Zac Rodarmel is not playing football in 2010 and wide out JD Carroll is now at San Clemente. Inexperience and depth could be hurdles for a program that has claimed at least a share of four consecutive league titles. SVC graduated 15 seniors last school year. Sophomore Brandon Towles takes over for Rodarmel, and has impressed Coach Gary Chambers with his improvement. Chambers lists Fairmont Prep as the favorite in the San Joaquin League.
