Salvador Zamora, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound left tackle, "became an animal" as he worked out alongside teammates. Coach Grajeda emphasized that the weight room is crucial for improving skills and team unity, stating, "Coach makes it mandatory for us; I don't think we'll be as good without the weight room." This environment helped players like Zamora and junior Steven Perez develop into strong leaders, focusing on accountability and team pride.
Coach Grajeda praised Steven Perez's remarkable determination and emotion, saying, "He plays with hard pride and emotion, and he has a determination that we haven't seen here in a long time at Banning." Perez excelled in his dual role, leading the team to a decisive victory and showcasing his growth as both a quarterback and leader.
In his season opener, Perez made a significant impact with explosive plays, rushing for 126 yards and scoring multiple touchdowns. His first game as quarterback was further highlighted by a 96-yard pick-six, contributing to a 49-21 win. Perez expressed excitement and dedication stating, "I've never played quarterback in my life... I've been training all summer, working for this moment."
