MISSION VIEJO
Coach: Mike Pelton (21st).
1996: 11-0, 5-0 in the South Coast League; won 18th Southern Section title and 20th league title.
Key returners: Chris Boyer, Sr.; Matt Burny, Sr.; Bryan Casserly, Sr.; James Davison, Sr.; Piotr Florczyk, Sr.; Matt Feeney, So.; Mike Feeney, So.; Carlos Gonzalez, Sr.; Bo Luddy, So.; Scott Raby, So.; Cary Raissian, Jr.; Evan Ray, So.; Juan Rodela, Jr.; Attila Szilagyi, So.; Sean Wilson, So.

Outlook: Pelton and company should again be the team to beat this season in the South Coast League and the Southern Section finals too. The Diablos will be anchored by Florczyk, who took third at section finals last year in the 200 individual medley and fourth in the 500 freestyle. Rodela is a backstroke specialist who is training with the Nadadores. Davison, who finished third in the 500 free and seventh in the 200 free, will provide the Diablos with needed points in the distance events.
