Coming off a winning overall inaugural campaign, the Cabrillo flag football team is gearing up for its second season.

This year, the Conquistadores will open at Santa Barbara Aug. 19 at 6:30 p.m. Cabrillo went 8-5 overall last year under coach Cole Osborne, the school's veteran baseball coach, though the Conquistadores lost to Lompoc in their only two Mountain League games.

Mike Wallace is coaching Cabrillo this year after three years as the boys junior varsity head coach. The girls flag football Mountain League has expanded this year to include Cabrillo, Lompoc, Pioneer Valley, Righetti, San Luis Obispo, Santa Ynez, Paso Robles and Santa Maria.

"We have 25 players on the roster this year," said Wallace. "That's a decent number." Cabrillo had 26 players last season.
