FACTS AND FIGURES

A Little History

The creation of the Pacific Coast League in 1986 provided a competitive home for some of the county’s smaller schools. The league also been a jumping-off point for several new programs; the county’s three newest public schools have all gotten their start in the PCL.

Trabuco Hills got its start in the Pacific Coast League, winning or sharing five league titles and three section championships before moving up to the South Coast League.

But while Trabuco Hills succeeded behind the passing of Tim Manning, David Lowery and Pat Barnes, the running game has dominated recent Pacific Coast League play. Costa Mesa’s Charles Chatman and Binh Tran and Laguna Hills’ David Webber, Brendan McGraw and Michael Jones all topped the 2,000-yard mark in the ‘90s.
