This’ll build brotherly love: During La Jolla High football’s three-day (two overnights) preseason camp July 30-Aug. 1, 89 registrants shared one boy’s bathroom in the school gym.Actually, there were more facilities a short distance away in the locker room next to the football field. But for quick access in the middle of the night, one bathroom? And so, the growing pains will debut in a week when the young Vikings put on the pads and travel to Patrick Henry to play their 2026 season opener in front of real fans. After pastor Miles McPherson of The Rock megachurch in Point Loma challenged the Vikings at the Mount Soledad cross to think of their present and future individually and collectively, young quarterbacks Brody Bukich and Ty Tortorice will lead the La Jollans into mortal battle on the gridiron.“It’s a good group. It’s not a huge senior class,” said Vikings coach Tyler Roach, now in his 10th year. “We’ve got some transfers. It’s kind of a chip on the shoulder thing. We’ve got a long way to go.” A long way indeed, as the Vikings embark on a formidable schedule that includes state powerhouse Cathedral Catholic in Week 8, league rival Point Loma in Week 3 under former La Jolla High School defensive coordinator Ryan Price, and vaunted St. Augustine at Mesa College in Week 6.Defensive end/tight end Nico Bardaro, the newly-named team captain, says it is all about community. As one of the faces of the current edition of the squad, Bardaro and several others showed their commitment before teammates at the Mount Soledad memorial in early August after a 2.8-mile run from campus.The commitment was written across the sweaty faces on that hot, muggy August day.“We need to grow and rely on each other,” the 6 foot 4 inch tall, 190-pound tri-sport athlete Bardaro said.
