BOYS SOCCER 1994-1995: SOCCER PREVIEW : SIX TEAMS TO WATCH : Edison

Coach: Trent Marcus (first year).

1993-94: 19-5-1, 9-5 in Sunset League; lost in quarterfinals of Division I playoffs to Santa Monica, 1-0, in overtime.

Key returners: Beau Barnhart, midfielder, Sr.; Travis Clutter, forward, Sr.; Michael Dena, defender, Sr.; Ryan Fial, defender, Sr.; Chris Shay, keeper, Sr.

Key newcomers: Jon Ginnaty, midfielder, Sr.; Mark Johnson, defender, Jr.; Todd Marcus, forward, Jr.; Jake Roquemore, midfielder, So.; Ed Uliaz, midfielder, Sr.

Outlook: Marcus, who lost only three games in three seasons as Edison’s JV coach, takes over a talented and experienced group led by Clutter (a first-team all-league selection last season), Barnhart, Dena, Marcus and Fial (a second-team all-league pick). After making the playoffs as a wild-card team last season, Edison upset top-seeded Royal in the playoffs’ first round before losing to Santa Monica. Uliaz is a transfer from Arcadia High who played in Australia last year. If the Chargers can stay healthy--they weren’t able to last season--they should do a lot better than a wild-card berth this season.
