Hot off the presses – no surprises – “kickoff 2011: sunset league preview” (August 29, 2011) …by dan albano OC Register
“OCVarsity continues its league-by-league previews for high school football with the Sunset League. Find the coaches’ poll, individual team previews, players and teams to watch and much more.

COACHES POLL:
1. Edison, 7-4 in 2010 (31.5 poll points)
1. Los Alamitos, 8-3 (31.5 poll points)
3. Huntington Beach, 6-4 (21)
4. Newport Harbor, 6-5 (19)
5. Fountain Valley, 3-6-1 (15)
6. Marina, 3-7 (10)

IN THE SPOTLIGHT:

Edison. The Chargers received a major boost in late August when Mater Dei transfer wide receiver Sedric Hill was declared eligible by a state appeals panel. Hill is one of the county’s best receivers and teams with Troy Baljeu and Curren Provost to give Edison one of the top receiving cores in the county. Throwing the ball will be Chase Favreau, a dual-threat quarterback who was the Sunset League’s offensive player of the year in 2010. Hill’s clearance also helps Edison on defense. The senior also plays cornerback. Edison also has talent at other spots such as running back and linebacker but some of those players will go both ways. If Edison’s lines play well and the Chargers stay relatively healthy, watch out.

Los Alamitos: The defending league champion Griffins appear to have the ingredients for another powerful offense. They return quarterback Dylan Lagarde, running back Cody Paul and wide receiver Kyle Roberts, who has an offer from Air Force. They also have two standout linemen in Neko Sanders and Alex Redmond. The challenge for Los Alamitos will on defense but they will receive a lift with the return of middle linebacker Joe Locher, who suffered an ankle injury last season. The Griffins also could have some of the best special teams in the county with Paul on returns and Brett Beighton kicking. …”
