How did the Fountain Valley Barons go from winning the JV Sunset League last year with their JV team and be second to last right now with the Varsity team in their league standings? Could it be the coaching? Or could it be that all (with the exception of one)of the players (all the senior players) that played last season are benched this year or quit(a good questions is why they quit)? This was a team to watch this year. This was a team that possibly could have had a very decent chance to win Sunset League. Instead, the opposite is true. What this team need for next year is a man by the name of Coach Berini who led the Barons last year to JV Sunset League champions.
