"He just got better and better and, with his willingness to learn, he's just a tenacious kid," Eberhart said of Kim, who also rushed for 678 yards and two touchdowns. "He really helped us establish the ability to run the ball and control the clock a little bit and stay in games as long as he did."

Anderson had three interceptions, while Maravilla had two of his own.

Hoover, which went 1-9 and 0-7 in league, landed senior quarterback AJ Pule and senior receiver Devaughn Williams on second-team skill positions and senior Sergio Arenas was a second-team offensive lineman.

"AJ did good job, he threw the ball and he ran the ball and was our leader, especially on offense," Tornadoes Coach Chris Long said of Pule, who passed for 2,051 yards and 13 touchdowns, while also rushing for 433 yards and eight touchdowns.

Williams caught 40 passes for 674 yards, while Arenas anchored the offensive line.

"[Williams] is small, but he's probably our toughest kid, he definitely has a big heart and he plays like that on the field," Long said. "[Arenas] is just a natural leader. He's one of our true kids who loves football. He's the only one who never missed a day in the offseason."

Senior Enrique Diaz made the second team as a defensive lineman with 73 tackles, a sack and three forced fumbles.

"He came such a long way," Long said. "He worked his butt off the last two years and he did a great job for us all year."

Honorable mentions went to Crescenta Valley senior running back Kevin Fernandez (245 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the season) and junior defensive lineman Nathan Sarreal (16 tackles and one fumble recovery in first nine games), Glendale senior offensive lineman Mark Attarian and senior linebacker Duncan Maxwell (52 tackles) and Hoover senior wide receiver Dymond McRae (581 yards receiving and seven touchdowns) and junior cornerback Luke Taboyoyong (42 tackles).

Taylor Lagace of Arcadia, which shared the league title with Burroughs, was named player of the year, while offensive player of the year was Burroughs' Lucas Yanez and defensive player of the year honors went to Burbank's Ryan Seidler.
