OUTLOOK

The excitement level is awfully high for a team that won only one league game last year and returns only five starters and 18 letterman. Why? Former El Toro Coach Bob Johnson’s return to coaching and the addition of a couple key transfers--Hart from Foothill and Cullinan, an all-league tight end, from Dana Hills. Hart is battling last year’s backup, Hodgins, for the starting quarterback job.
