Santa Margarita has 15 returning starters, but it also has one of the toughest schedules in the state of California. The team with the toughest schedule? That would be Servite, which has the fourth-toughest schedule in the country, according to the Freeman ratings. The Friars, who reached the state finals two years ago, return 10 starters. Santa Margarita boasts the state's top returning quarterback in
Johnny Stanton, who led the Eagles to a Division I Bowl Game championship last year.
