Summary
The Monarchs have finished either No. 1 or No. 2 in each of the past three years while grabbing two CIF Open Division state championships during that span. Coach Rollinson has talent everywhere on the field, and there was a big question mark under center but 2021 USC commit
Miller Moss recently transferred to the Santa Ana power last week. There is still a chance he has to sit out the first five games unless he gets a waiver to play right away.
