new season brings all kinds of challenges and hope for local football teams s the 2011 campaign prepares to get under way on Friday night. Sacred Heart Prep has a Central Coast Section title to defend; Menlo School must find a way to get back to the section finals; Menlo-Atherton hopes to dazzle under the lights at home, Gunn must find a way to win again in the SCVAL El Camino Division after going winless in the De Anza Division, Pinewood looks for its first league title while Priory hopes to navigate the campaign as an independent. At Sacred Heart Prep, the Gators get going on Saturday against visiting San Lorenzo Valley at 2:30 p.m. after an 11-2 record in 2010 that included the team’s first-ever Central Coast Section championship. The first challenge for head coach Pete Lavorato is to get his players focused on the season ahead and not what was accomplished last year — as impressive as it was. The Gators have lost a number of skill players to graduation, including quarterback John Geary, running back Colin Terndrup and two-way lineman Brian Moran among the 23 seniors who put together the most successful season in school history. Jack Larson, who was throwing baseballs in the spring, will be pitching footballs this fall as the starting quarterback. Tyler McCool, Ryan Gaertner and Will Morga — all members of the track team — will make up a speedy backfield behind Larson. Joining that group will be Daver Refioglu, who has played tennis the past three seasons instead of football. Duke Moran, Leo Koloamatangi, Nick Kawasaki, Matt Martella, Gabe Mitchell and Mark Oppenheimer look to anchor the offensive line, with Moran catching passes
from the tight end position. Luke Thomas anchors the defense along with Derek Hunter, Fatu Tupou, Mike Covell, Mark Hardy, Daniel Thaure, Kevin Honahoe and A.J. Chamorro. The Gators appear ready to roll on offense, but the defense make take some time to catch up. At Menlo School, the Knights will open on Friday at Santa Cruz at 7:30 p.m. Menlo is coming off an 8-4 record that concluded with a loss to Sacred Heart Prep in the CCS Division IV semifinals. Like SHP, the Knights lost a lot of offensive yards but have enough talented bodies to keep the scoreboard lit. Head coach Mark Newton has three quarterbacks in the rotation — junior Matt Bradley and sophomores Mikey Diekroeger and Jack Heneghan — plus a remarkable nine possible wide receivers to throw to — among them Chris Reed. The offensive returnees include Tommy Ford, Colum Coyne, Andrew Sanford and Dylan Mayer, who at 6-2 and 215 pounds will be tough to bring down at running back or slot receiver. Chris Zeisler and Heru Peacock also figure to be carrying the ball, as well. The offensive and defensive lines need to be at their best with all the new faces behind them. Wyatt Rouser, Spencer Buja and Craig Robbins likely will go both ways along with Mayer, who doubles as a linebacker. Staying healthy and limiting twoway duty will be important for the Knights, who went 4-1 in the PAL Ocean Division last season. At Menlo-Atherton, the Bears hope to start better than their 0-3 mark from a year ago when they play host to El Camino on Friday at 7 p.m. Menlo-Atherton will play four of its five home games under (continued on next page)
