Banning High School Football Season Preview

As the new school year begins, high school sports fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the football season. In anticipation of the upcoming season, we spoke to Coach Raymond Grajeda, head coach of the Banning High School football team, to get a preview of what is to come for his team this year. With a mix of new and returning players, Coach Grajeda is confident that this year's team will make a strong impact. One of the biggest changes for the team this year will be the addition of several new players who are expected to make an immediate impact. Steven Perez, Keshawn Galloway, Pedro Ibanez, Salvador Zamora, Erick Hernandez, Kody Galloway, and Oscar Villarreal are all players who have the potential to be game-changers for the team. These athletes bring a combination of skill, athleticism, and determination that will undoubtedly make them valuable assets to the Banning High School football program. But it's not just about raw talent on the field. Coach Grajeda also looks for specific qualities when choosing team captains. He believes that captains should be role models who lead by example both on and off the field. This year, Noa Tuvalu, Nathan Ralgoza, Rodrigo Muro, Freddy Corado, and Mauricio Ortiz are all players who have caught Coach Grajeda's eye. These players have earned the trust of their teammates and coaches and will play a crucial role in leading the team to victory. Team chemistry and camaraderie are essential for any successful team, and Coach Grajeda understands this. He plans to foster a sense of unity and a winning mentality among his players by reminding them of the championship tradition at Banning High School. He believes that constant reminders of their past success will motivate the players to work hard and push each other to be the best they can be. When it comes to motivation, Coach Grajeda puts an emphasis on setting and achieving team goals. This year's team goal is to not only become contenders for the Marine League Championship but also to reclaim the LA City Championship title. This is a tall task, but with the right mindset and work ethic, Coach Grajeda believes his team can achieve anything. Of course, every new season brings its own set of challenges. For Banning High School, the biggest challenge this year will be filling the shoes of last year's seniors.
