It’s a Long, Tough Road

San Clemente might miss the playoffs after losing to Mater Dei, 38-7, Thursday. “Are we a playoff-caliber team?” Triton Coach Mark McElroy said. “Most certainly. Will we be able to go? I don’t know.” Of San Clemente’s four losses, three were to top 10 teams; three were by seven points or fewer, including a 28-27 loss to unheralded Trabuco Hills.
