Mid-Valley Division MVP: El Monte Quarterback Brandon Martinez
Everything was contentious for the Mid Valley Sports staff when it came to post-honors and who should get them. We fought over everything and nearly everyone. And every complaint we’ve heard up to this point has some merit (except the “political” argument)…
Southeast Division MVP: Downey Running Back Justin Huff

If not Elffers it was going to be Jacob Kalama of Torrance. Perhaps Ivan Vasquez at La Puente or Ryan Esslinger out of Whittier Christian.
