Their offense, led by last year's Gatorade National Player of the Year, QB Matt Barkley (headed to USC), is going to be solid. RBs Jaron Hytche and Jordan Allen are going to be running behind a big offensive line led by Chris Ward and Bryan Kiernan. The defense will be relying on speed to make up for youth. Coach Rollinson is going to be expecting senior leadership, from players like DB Christian Maldonado, to bring the young players along and teach them what it means to play Monarch football.
