EIGHT WEEKS TO GO UNTIL 2024 SEASON
Laguna celebrates 90 years of high school football this season and the 90th varsity season . Compulsory high school education in California did not begin until 1921 when Laguna high school-age students attended Tustin Union High School and had to endure the long 20-plus mile ride to the Tiller ’ s campus . Laguna finally established a high school district in 1933 , and on Tuesday , Sept . 11 , 1934 , the Laguna Beach High School opened with an enrollment of 157 students . The current facility , built in 1928 , was home to the entire school district for the 1934-35 term , with local surf legend Dick Metz a member of that 1934 kindergarten class .
The first football season was in the fall of 1934 . Red Guyer scheduled mostly junior varsity teams and always considered the season as junior varsity ,” but three games were played against varsity teams . The Laguna used no
