After reaching the 4A Conference semifinals last season, ALA-West Foothills believes it has the experience — and the quarterback — to compete for the state championship.
The Guardians finished a 9-5 season last year on a five-game winning streak before losing to Arcadia in the semifinals. But with a senior-heavy roster and quarterback Rush Kamakeeaina taking over after sitting out last season, expectations inside the program are high.
“We always want to be a playoff contention team, no matter what happens,” said head coach Bryan Rauzan about the team’s steady progress.
