OUTLOOK

The Lancers return seven starters from last season’s league-championship team. Jason Whieldon, The Times’ Orange County back of the year, has graduated, leaving Robby Hobbs, a junior with little varsity experience, to fill his shoes at quarterback. Kunau is counting on leadership from Griswold, who led the team in tackles; Klappenback, an all-league lineman; and Overton.
