For the second consecutive year, Walker was named the league’s co-most valuable player with junior Max McFarland of Chadwick.
Bradley and Thomson were named to the league’s first team, while Denton and Chow received second-team honors.
Walker, a senior outside hitter who will attend the University of the Pacific in Stockton in the fall on a partial athletic scholarship, finished with a team-high 278 kills, 64 aces and 150 digs. He was also named to the league’s first team.
Veteran Flintridge Prep Coach Sean Beattie, whose team finished 13-9 and 6-2 in league behind Chadwick, said Walker played a huge role in helping the Rebels achieve success.
“He proved to be a big part of our team,” Beattie said. “In every league match, he carried us.
“You look at everybody in our league, with the exception of Max, Dylan was the best. He was usually on top of his game during the whole year.”
Walker, who was an All-CIF first-team member last year after notching 459 kills, said he tried to contribute in many ways.
“I’m glad I could make an impact on the team,” said Walker, the reigning All-Area Player of the Year. “I thought I played pretty consistent throughout the year.
“It’s nice to [be named co-MVP], even though I didn’t have as many kills as I did last year. But, we had some good people on the team.”
Bradley, a senior setter, proved to be an asset in helping spread out the Rebels’ offensive attack. Bradley, an All-CIF pick a year ago, finished with 657 assists and 113 digs this season after earning first-team honors last season.
“He was great moving the ball around,” Beattie said.
Thomson, a junior middle blocker who picked up all-league second-team accolades last season, also played a key role by providing a presence for Flintridge Prep. He finished with 177 kills, 32 blocks and 38 digs.
“His power in the middle opened up things for Dylan for the outside,” Beattie said. “It will be great having him back next year.”
Denton and Chow each provided stability for the Rebels, who advanced to the semifinals last year.
The 6-foot-7 Denton, a senior middle blocker, gave the Rebels some swagger. He ended up with 127 kills and 38 blocks this season to receive all-league second-team honors for the second straight season.
Chow, a sophomore utility player, gave the Rebels some much-needed versatility in handling the roles of outside hitter, opposite hitter and libero. He played libero throughout the postseason.
“Peter brought the fire by getting the big block or hit for us,” Beattie said. “Edmund showed he could do many things for us. He came up to me and volunteered to be libero.”
