Prep football: Johnson to coach South All-Stars

Bob Johnson, who led the Mission Viejo High Diablos to an unbeaten

season and a CIF Southern Section Division II title last fall, has been

selected to coach the South in the Orange County All-Star Football Game,

scheduled July 12 at Orange Coast College.

It’s the third tour as South Coach for Johnson, who guided the Rebels

to a 21-7 victory in the 1988 summer showcase. He also directed the South

in a 0-0 tie in 1983.

Johnson’s coaching resume includes CIF Southern Section championships

at El Toro High in 1982 (Central Conference), as well as 1986 and ’87

(Southern Conference).

Brea Olinda High’s Jon Looney will guide the North in the charity

contest presented annually by the Orange County Youth Foundation and the

Brea Lions Club. Game proceeds go to several charities, including Western

Youth Services, the Pediatric Adolescent Diabetes Research Foundation and

Orange County Special Olympics.

All-Star rosters are scheduled to be announced in April.
