The Boys are back in town at Arroyo which means the Knights are the prohibitive Mission Valley League favorites. With Jim Singiser and his staff back in control Arroyo should rise to the top.

Camping with the Chargers

A sight Charger fans should get used to. Herbert to Hampton!

(El Segundo) – The Chargers were out in El Segundo Saturday for their third day of training camp. Quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Taylor Heinicke, Trey Lance and DJ Ulagalelei all saw action. Herbert and Heinicke worked with the ones and twos. The practice started at 5:00 pm and went a little over 90 minutes. On offense rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden looked good hauling a few receptions from Herbert. Rookie Omarion Hampton also was effective carrying the rock and catching balls out of the backfield.

Here’s a few shots from today’s action.
