Outlook: The State coaches’ preseason poll lists the Chargers as the No. 1 team, but they have suffered some major losses--starters Jaime Smith, Wendy Balut and Lesli Steinert have graduated, and Coach Mike Jagd resigned to return to college. Terry, a former Laguna Beach assistant, takes over a talented group that’s favored to win the South Coast League.
