If ABC brought back the TV show “Superstars” that featured top athletes competing in various events, then a trip to Corona del Mar High would be a must, because the Sea Kings have top multiple-sport athletes competing every day.

Nolan Scott is a 6-foot-4 tight end and linebacker who can dunk and plays basketball with his Harvard-bound brother, Maxwell.
Tucker Murray is a safety, receiver and punt returner who’s committed to Princeton to play both football and lacrosse.
JJ Haley is a receiver and center fielder for the baseball team who could play both sports in college.
