<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>POOL C</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>CENTENNIAL</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Huskies return quarterback <strong>Dominick Catalano</strong> who got meaningful playing time last year after an injury to its USC committed quarterback. The receiving corps is promising with [player_tooltip player_id='1000977' first='Tyler' last='George'] returning and a nice addition in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1288773' first='Devan' last='Parker']</strong> from Servite. Tight end <strong>Keawe Browne</strong> has some major offers including Texas. [player_tooltip player_id='780276' first='Therman' last='Williams'] leads the secondary with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611201' first='Jaden' last='Walk-Green']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1698870' first='Brett' last='Smith'] Jr.</strong> and promising sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='668801' first='Messiah' last='Riley']. </strong>The linebacking corps has some returning star power too with <strong>Hayden Zentner</strong> and [player_tooltip player_id='401263' first='Jonathan' last='McKinley'] II. </p>

<p><strong>NEWPORT HARBOR</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Newport Harbor has an interesting quarterback situation going on with returning starter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1742014' first='Jake' last='Meer']</strong> and JSerra transfer <strong>Jordan Spigarelli</strong> who had meaningful reps for JSerra last season. I still expect Meer to be the starter, but quarterback depth is always important. <strong>Shane McKibbon</strong> is a receiver to watch for the Sailors and junior running back <strong>Jackson Stremick</strong> can catch some passes out of the backfield. <strong>Ethan Ambat</strong> is a defensive back to keep an eye on and I'm really high on linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1576842' first='Glenn' last='Baranoski'], who had a great showing at the You Are Athlete camp.</p>

<p><strong>SAN JUAN HILLS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>San Juan Hills returns some key players on offense including three-year starting quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='283687' first='Timmy' last='Herr']. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1639259' first='Luke' last='Frith']</strong> is a star at receiver who is picking up some college interest. <strong>Ryan Matheson</strong> is another quality junior receiver and <strong>Dean Kolasinski </strong>will get a lot of targets as well. San Juan Hills' defense forced 24 turnovers last season but lost some star power. <strong>Jacob Mullen </strong>is a linebacker to watch for the Stallions and <strong>Chase Mason</strong> is a returning corner.</p>

Huntington Beach has some rising juniors in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1626424' first='Dylin' last='Bruce']</strong>, who was just offered by UCLA, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258661' first='Jimmel' last='Champion']</strong>. <strong>Nicolas Navarette</strong> is a two-way player to keep an eye on for the Oilers and the secondary features some quality juniors in <strong>Maxx Hopkins</strong> and <strong>Dylan Cunningham</strong>. <strong>Owen Bone</strong> is a returning linebacker I've heard good things about and safety <strong>Charles Stubin</strong> is a returning contributor. </p>

<p><strong>CREAN LUTHERAN</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crean Lutheran is loaded at the skill positions and added some big transfers. [player_tooltip player_id='1598347' first='Bryce' last='Coleman'] is a standout receiver who transferred from Loyola and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561275' first='Ty' last='Johnson']</strong> is a big transfer from Texas. They will be receiving passes from junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1197336' first='Caden' last='Jones'] who already had Columbia commit [player_tooltip player_id='780464' first='Dillon' last='Booth'] to throw to. Defensively, Crean Lutheran added high-level prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1611238' first='Evan' last='Mack'] from Long Beach Wilson and<strong> Damari Hall </strong>from Narbonne.

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>CAPISTRANO VALLEY</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Capo Valley has some options at quarterback with highly-touted prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1197373' first='Talon' last='Spencer'] and Servite transfer <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1709005' first='Tyler' last='Gonzalez']</strong>. Gonzalez has been taking a lot of reps in offseason passing leagues and Spencer is the best athlete on the team who led the team in receiving last season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279271' first='Colin' last='Hooper']</strong> is a big junior tight end and the rest of the receiving corps, including <strong>Izaiah Bennett</strong>, will have to step into bigger roles this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1700801' first='Jake' last='Beisel']</strong> is a returning linebacker along with <strong>Joseph Price</strong>. <strong>Jack Schwnn</strong> leads the secondary and junior <strong>Brody Saavedra</strong> is a guy to watch. </p>

<p><strong>CATHEDRAL CATHOLIC</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Dons are led by Cal commit [player_tooltip player_id='1000878' first='Brady' last='Palmer'] at quarterback and Stanford commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1084696' first='Hunter' last='Harrington']</strong> at receiver. <strong>Parker Johnson</strong> is another standout receiver for the Dons who had a great showing at the All-22 camp in March. A pair of high-level prospects lead the defense: [player_tooltip player_id='1362381' first='Josh' last='Faraimo'] (Washington State commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='1197204' first='Honor' last='Faalave']. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1623589' first='Aidan' last='Smith-McGlynn']</strong> led the team in interceptions last season and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1201860' first='Titus' last='Napoleon']</strong> is a junior to watch. </p>

<p><strong>UPLAND</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Upland returns an excellent junior quarterback in <strong>Lequand Jackson</strong>, who threw for 160 yards per game with 13 touchdowns and eight rushing touchdowns. <strong>Spank Smith</strong> is a top returning running back for the Scots who also catches passes out of the backfield. <strong>Nick Bester</strong> is a safety I'm high on and linebacker <strong>Andrew Valenzuela</strong> has gotten some college interest. </p>

<p><strong>CHINO HILLS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chino Hills quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='401215' first='Alex' last='Medyn'] has been on my radar since he was a freshman at Orange Lutheran and he has delivered in a big way for Chino Hills. <strong>Calum Ferrell </strong>is a top returning receiver for the Huskies along with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='780279' first='Luke' last='Lopez']</strong> and junior <strong>Jeremiah Salvant</strong>. <strong>Jayden Pantoja </strong>had some interceptions for Chino Hills last season and is back, but the defense has some holes to fill. </p>
