(Norwalk) – The Norwalk Lancers had a rough year last year, going 3-7 and finishing last in the tough Gateway league.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2022 head coach Ruben Guerrero had the Lancers 10-2 and quarterfinalist losing to the eventual CIF champions Muir.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guerrero, 19-14 as head coach, is a Norwalk alum and longtime assistant with short stops at Glenn and St. John Bosco.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year these guys have a good head on their shoulders. They\u2019re an old-school high energy ball club. They stick together after practice and play catch we have to chase them off the field. That\u2019s very encouraging,” said Guerrero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Ezra Mueller will be the lead running back for Guerrero\u2019s double wing offense. Mueller had 1,779 yards, 22-touchdowns while averaging 9.41 yards per carry last year. He is the younger brother of Michael Mueller who led the Lancers in rushing in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a trio of junior running backs who are going to get their share of carries. Derek Sandoval and Diego Cerritos are fighting for a starting position as well as Daron Walker Anderson who will be Mueller\u2019s back up at the three back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the way for the running backs will be fullback Papo Leiataua (6\u20190\u201d 235lbs) and anchors O-line seniors Bobby Mosqueda (6\u20191\u201d 250lbs) and Anthony Lemus (6\u20193\u201d 260lbs). Athlete Tyler Burton will be seeing action all over the field as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guerrero has also added to the coaching staff bringing in former Sunny Hills head coach Dave Wilde and long-time Jesse Ceniceros assistant George Hernandez. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers open up the season with Montebello and will be in the Mid Cities League this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
