    Pacific Grove returns key skill position players and seasoned leadership, and Soledad returns practically its entire squad from last year. But no program in the MTAL has been as consistent from the freshman level to varsity as Seaside, a dark horse pick for the title. With their recent success, the Spartans have limited the number of players who, in the past, have ended up wearing the green and gold of the zip code next door.

  • Monterey Bay League 2001 Football Preview - 9/14/2001
    HOLLISTER AND PALMA AGAIN LOOK LIKE EARLY FAVORITES
    It will be difficult for the Monterey Bay League to top last year's outstanding season that resulted in five section playoff berths and two Central Coast Section Football Championships, including its first CCS Division 1 crown in 12 years.
