I went to Mission Viejo High School. For those of you that didn’t grow up in South Orange County, you may not know what that means. But for someone who has lived here for his entire life, it meant undoubted greatness out of the football team. Death, taxes, and MVHS winning their league. Being nationally ranked as the third best high school during the Mark Sanchez era.
My freshman year was 2007. Mission Viejo was undefeated leading up to the final game before the postseason. It was against Tesoro High School from Rancho Santa Margarita. They, too, were undefeated, but lacked the history, only being founded in 2001 and moving to the South Coast League in the previous year.
