OUTLOOK

Three close losses kept Northridge from a great season, but the team still found a way to net five wins and a 4-1 record through a late five-game stretch, including a playoff win over Pleasant Grove. They’ll return a valuable senior DB duo in Colby Rhees and Kyle Rawlings to lead the secondary, and two-way lineman Quincy Lovvett’s another win. After splitting snaps with Grant Slater in 2025, quarterback Liam Fresques steps up to the plate with 1,118 passing yards, six touchdowns and four picks following him into his senior campaign. There’s a long list of potential breakout stars on this Northridge team, and an equally long list of questions to answer as the Aug. 14 home opener with 6A Copper Hills approaches.
