Jessica Loiacano (Player of the Year)
This is for the “Original 12” schools that were covered by midvalleysports.com.
Unlike most teams there is no second team, it’s just one team with 11 players with one being named “Player of the Year”.
Much arguing takes place to make sure the right players get on the All-Mid Valley Old School 12 Team.
Now here is this year’s team:
Player of the Year: Jessica Loiacano (Temple City) – Stellar senior season in which she led the Rams in every offensive category.
Andrea King (Left, Named Coach of the Year)
Coach of the Year: Andrea King (Gabrielino) – Although the Eagles finished 10-11 not much was expected this season for the team. King managed to get her team to the playoffs and nearly pulled off an upset in the wild card game against Monrovia.
1B – Schae Simpson (Monrovia) – Batted .434 this season and a major reason why the Lady Cats were in the playoff hunt for most of the year.

2B – Auryanna Erhardt (Duarte) – Two homers on the season for the senior leader of the Falcons, add a near perfect fielding percentage and you can see why Duarte had a good season.
SS – Jessica Loiacano (Temple City) – No argument here, as Loiacano came up clutch in the playoff clinching game against Monrovia. It also didn’t hurt that Jessica finished this season with five homers, 36 runs batted in and a .514 average.
3B – Sami Jakeway (Temple City) – Made the Rams very dangerous at the 3-4 slot as she batted in front of Loiacano. Jakeway finished with a .412 batting average and 33 hits.

OF – Karah Hernandez (Rosemead) – Had a batting average of .451 with three homers while patrolling centerfield.
OF – Aracely Sosa (South El Monte) – Batted .304 for the Eagles and had 6 assists from the outfield.
OF – Krystal Chacon (San Gabriel) – In a season which went downhill quickly for the Matadors, Chacon managed to have a .322 with 20 RBI’s.
FLEX(DP) – Denise Gonzalez (Alhambra) – Not really a flex player, but how can you not give her a spot after getting a walk-off homer in the wild card game.
Kelli Williams (Monrovia)
C – Kelli Williams (Monrovia) – Lost in the shuffle of some good catchers in the area, Williams can swing a good bat with a .329 average and 26 hits.
P – Jaclyn Wagner (Arroyo) – After a slow start Wagner was nearly unbeatable in the second half of the season.

P – Kaysie Gatlin (Duarte) – Highly touted Falcons had many good cogs to help with its best finish in years, but Gatlin was tough to beat in must-win games.
