Outlook: The 7-time defending Suburban League champs, Mayfair Monsoons, are gearing up for #8. Considering the last time Mayfair actually lost a league game was 2001, it's tough to doubt them. You'll find out quickly how good the Monsoons are, as they'll be taking on Moorpark, Los Alamitos, and Lakewood to start the season. While you typically want experience at the QB position, it's not always required. "We started a freshman at QB [Evan Hunko] last year, and we still went 7-3," points out co-head coach Mike Fitch. The coach touts the strength of the offense as the O-line, led by All-Suburban League selection, Brad Henderson. Defensively, Mayfair should be very tough, with all-leaguers abundant, particularly in the secondary with Andre Allen and Ronald Kennedy.
