Seo, 'Wojo' make a splash

Kazangian and Byun were voted the All-Area Doubles Team of the Year. He also was an All-Prep League soccer play at defender. And as a running back/linebacker, he made the All-Prep League and All-Area teams.

10 — Brett Nelson, St. Francis football, senior

Though he spent only one season as a varsity starter, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior helped captain a prolific Golden Knights offense.

In 11 games, he completed 168 of 292 passes and averaged 251 yards per game, tallying 2,765 at season's end. And he threw for 28 touchdowns and only eights interceptions, with 14 touchdowns and only two picks over the final seven games.

For his contributions, Nelson was a unanimous pick for the All-Area Football Player of the Year.

"I thought he had a phenomenal year," St. Francis Coach Jim Bonds said.

Indeed, Nelson was also named to the All-CIF and All-Mission League teams as the Golden Knights rallied to make a playoff push and almost upset second-seeded Dominguez in the playoffs before falling, 28-25.

Others receiving votes: Harrison Thai, Crescenta Valley swimming; Jared Norsworthy, Flintridge Prep basketball and volleyball; Patrick Carroll, St. Francis football; Mike Davis, Glendale football and track; Elliott Surrey, Crescenta Valley baseball.
