Laguna Beach’s football season ended Friday night when the Breakers lost to Sherman Oaks Notre Dame 44-28 in the Division 3 playoff opener. But one look at the performance of the three freshman starters shows how promising the future is for Laguna Beach.
Luke Bogdan (6-foot-4, 260 pounds) and Winston Darrow (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) are 14 years old. Both players will start in the attacking position. Bogdan also played on the defensive line. And running back/linebacker Charlie Christian is 15 years old and isn’t going to go down without a fight.
It was amazing to see such young players thrive in a Division 3 offense. Quarterback Jack Hurst was fired once. Christian also caught five passes for 85 yards while playing linebacker on defense against Notre Dame’s huge offensive line.
When college recruiters watch these freshmen on film and imagine how big and strong they will become over the next few years, they will be impressed.
