Player of the Year: Tra Sumler
Most Valuable Player: Tra Sumler
How would you like us to sum up this Sumler? He handled the pressure of having two really good football players in own family in Desean and Deon. He lived up to expectation, might have been a better defensive player with his instincts than an offense talent, yet cleared over two thousand yards as a tailback.
With help from his offensive line, and Angel Alejandre’s ability to keep teams off balance in the air, Sumler dominated games running through, over, and around opponents.
Easily the most valuable and easily the player of the year

QB: Angel Alejandre, Rosemead: Tough call, but right call. Took his team to the finals…come on.

RB: Tra Sumler, Rosemead: We all should have a season like Sumler had.

RB: Marquise Williams, Monrovia: Carried his team to the semis

RB: Daniel Joseph, San Dimas: 80-yards in a heartbeat.

WR: Manny Acosta, South El Monte: Great senior season, capped great career.

WR: Rauley Zaragoza, Azusa: Outstanding player in a resurgent Aztec program.

OL: Matt Calver, Monrovia: Who was opening the holes for Marquise?
OL: Chris Flores, Rosemead: Keystone of a special Panther offensive line.

OL: Tim Starr, Duarte: Blocking helped jump start two great backs in Harris and Canada.

OL: Josh Ouellette, Temple City: Physical and spiritual leader of TC O-line.

OL: Ryan Doll, San Dimas: Salm was great, Doll we thought was better.

K: Bobby Maldonado, Rosemead: What a boot!

Defense
DL: Marty Legaspe, Northview: Did the linebackers make him better or did he make the linebackers better?

DL: Edward Vasquez, Rosemead: Another dominant Panther.

DL: Luis Diaz, Rosemead: See Above…and this one is only a junior.

LB: Andrew Rodriguez, Northview: A joy to watch on the field.

LB: Gilbert De La Rosa, Rosemead: Tenacious defender kept coming all year.

LB: Lionel Acosta, Northview: We’re not picking against a Northview linebacker.

LB: Christian Vargas, Northview: See above.

DB: Alex Chang, Rosemead: Hands, coverage, playmaker, hitter. Stud.

DB: Cawatas Brown, San Dimas: The cover guy no one seems to know about.

DB: Cesar Chavez, Rosemead: Mead version of Andrew Rodriguez. Great great player.

DB: Anthony Farmer, Northview: Another Viking playmaker.

P: Andrew Tinsley, Temple City: Huh? Yeah we took Tinsley for one play. Ball snapped over his head in semifinal, he completely turns his back to the line of scrimmage, chases it down and then pivots to get the kick away. Best play by a punter all year.
