Mission Viejo High School football Coach Bob Johnson is feeling very proud these days as he sits back on Saturdays and watches his numerous ex-players on TV during the college football season.

On Saturday afternoon, former Mission Viejo quarterback Mark Sanchez was starting for USC against Arizona State. On Saturday night, former Mission Viejo offensive lineman Jeff Baca of UCLA was trying to block former Mission Viejo defensive end Nick Reed of Oregon as former Mission Viejo running back Chane Moline carried the ball for the Bruins.

‘It’s a lot of fun,’ Johnson said.
