Homecoming: Watch El Toro Take on Garden Grove

Watch the 5-0 Chargers football team take on Garden Grove Friday evening at El Toro High School's homecoming game.

The game starts at 7 p.m. at the football field at Trabuco Hills High School, where El Toro plays its home games.

When the team last met Garden Grove, on Oct. 7, 2011, El Toro sent them packing following a 42-7 rout.

So far this season, El Toro has defeated Huntington Beach, Clovis, Canyon, Palos Verdes and Valhalla.

At the Valhalla game, El Toro star quarterback Conner Manning (who committed early this summer to play for the University of Utah) set a new county record for single-game passing.

Ticket sales start 5:30 p.m. Friday at Trabuco Hills High, 27501 Mustang Run, Mission Viejo.
