It wasn't supposed to be this way. Serra, NorCal's top team for the last three years, seemed set at the QB position not that long ago. Not so now. At least four very promising signal-callers have left the program in the last two years, for a variety of reasons (not all related to playing time). The surge of QB transfers has left the Padres almost naked at that position heading into the 2024 season. With, arguably, the toughest schedule in the San Mateo school's history (and with a very young roster as well) facing the program, Coach Walsh and his staff are going to have to improvise on the fly. Their expertise will be severely tested. The opener is now just weeks away. Hello, Folsom, DLS and Bosco, not to mention the annual WCAL slog. Is a 5-5 record looming on West 20th Avenue? It's not out of the question.
