Football: Wally’s back at Mesa

Wally Grant is back with the Costa Mesa High football program.

The former Mustangs player and assistant coach has joined Coach Jeremy Osso’s staff as the defensive coordinator. Grant was an assistant at Costa Mesa under then-coach Myron Miller from 1992 to 1994, helping the Mustangs in 1993 win the Pacific Coast League championship and qualify for their only CIF Southern Section Division VIII championship game in school history.

“Now, that I’ve seen the kids and have gotten to know the kids better, I like the opportunity even better,” said Grant, who was Miller’s defensive coordinator at Tustin High from 1995 to 2005, a period in which he coached a handful of future NFL players. “The kids look hungry. They remind me a lot of when I got to Costa Mesa in the early 1990s. It’s going to be a lot fun.”
