OUTLOOK

Garden Grove’s top four skill players (quarterback, running back, safety and cornerback) are gone, and so apparently are the Argonauts’ chances of being in the playoffs. Buenafe will have the difficult task of filling the shoes of running back Jim Sebreros, one of the top backs in the history of the Garden Grove League. “We’re going to have to be more disciplined,” Buenafe said. “Any time (Sebreros) got the ball he could gain 10 or 100 yards. We just don’t have the big-play capability.”
