Jerry Brown made a return to the governor’s office in 2010.
Thus, in 2012, it makes perfect sense that Dave Morton can return to the
football sidelines at Laguna Creek High School.

While it’s good to be back in football, I’ve still been on
campus,” Morton told the Citizen a few months ago. “I’m older and wiser now,
but still very passionate about everything.”
Morton replaces longtime coach Mark Nill, who resigned after
last season in which the Cardinals went 4-6 overall and failed to qualify for
the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.
“I can’t even begin to explain or measure how much I missed
the game,” said Morton. “I miss the relationships with the kids, because that’s
what football is all about. I had to work very hard to keep it put to the side
all these years.
