Sophomore Maximus Gibbs entered the portal Wednesday, Rivals has learned. The Los Angeles area native never really found a home at USC. He arrived as an offensive lineman but spent most of last season on the defensive line, appearing in eight games there and recording two tackles. He moved back to the offensive line for 2022.

Coach Eric Zomalt, who guided Citrus Hill to a state championship, takes over the Mustangs' program this season. RV was a dismal 2-7 last year. How fast can Coach Zomalt right this ship and return Rancho Verde to the heights it achieved under Coach Duffy?

Oceanside High's Dave Rodriguez ready for 2022 football season

By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-John Carroll Stadium-Oceanside HIgh School-Oceanside, CA-6-4-22: The Oceanside Pirates known for their football tradition have produced outstanding players who've been playing in colleges and the NFL.

For 21 years, former coach John Carroll has guided the squad to numerous San Diego Section and CIF State Football titles, retired in 2014 is currently involved watching Pirate games, making TV appearances and is on the CIF San Diego Football Committee.

David Rodriguez took over the reins in 2015 and has guided the Pirates to two San Diego Section CIF Football titles with a 23-14 win over rival El Camino and 2019 with a 28-10 win over Lincoln After 3 seasons, Oceanside finished with a 8-3 record in 2016, 2 rebuilding years of 6-6 and 6-7. In 2021, the Pirates finished the season at 4-7 looks for improvement in 2022.

Coach Rodriguez: "It's an exciting celebration coming out of the pandemic to host the Pirate intersquad tag football game that's always a tradition for us at Oceanside High School." "It's fun watching our kids and coaches binding together as we had a great crowd support along with the Elks Club contributing for us as football is taking place as I'm excited for the kids."

"At qb, Andrew Miller, a rising sophomore who played JV last year has worked hard on his skills as my QB Coach Joe Pao Pao is working with Andrew on from chalk talk to working on the field, our other members of the coaching staff in Joseph Matthews and Onzei Weaver are excited about our future." said Coach Rodriguez.

In the Oceanside Green vs. Oceanside White scrimmage, the teams finished in a 7-7 tie. The Green squad took the first lead at 7-0 as QB Andrew Miller threw a 9 yard pass to Devin Corpuz with Isaac Hernandez on the PAT. The White squad came back for the tie as Georgie Nua scored on a 4 yard run and connected with the PAT.

"Georgie Nu who is one of my backs is very energetic like the bunny you see on the commercial, loves football is a competitor which shows in his place as Devin Corpuz, my other back is an upcoming player as he competed on the JV level is currently playing basketball, has dedicated himself with the hard work as I'm excited to watch him. " said Coach Rodriguez.

"We have a cohesive unit working hard in terms of being fundamentally sound as our defensive front made key interceptions for us as they worked on their responsibilities properly, my 2 defenslve assistants Coach Orlando and Coach Cabrera have done an amazing job of getting our guys lined up ready to go for the ball." said Coach Hernandez.

"Isaac Hernandez had a good day for us kicking field goals for the Green along with teammate Georgie Nua for the White but in the real game Isaac kicks the ball right in the middle of the goal posts which will win football games for us."

Oceanside High School opens up the 2022 season on August 19th 2022 at John Carroll Stadium vs. San Clemente in the Battle for the Base Trophy
