NorRocks Rashaad Penny<\/p><\/div>\n

In retrospect maybe this selection shouldn\u2019t have been tough, but it was. Since player of the year is based on numbers and performance there was a month long argument among the staff. Bitter enough for us to miss yesterday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n

In the end Norwalk\u2019s Rashaad Penny emerged with his 37 touchdowns. During the course of 11 games (the Lancers made it to the second round but lost a game on the schedule when Cerritos folded its tent) and 1,872 gained on the ground Penny crossed the goal line 30 times.<\/p>\n

He was the team\u2019s leading receiver out of the double-wing offense, catching 12 for 383 yards and seven touchdowns. He punted, recorded 21 tackles, two interceptions, and recovered a fumble.<\/p>\n

Penny did this as a junior, as a sophomore he scored 13 touchdowns, and now has 50 career visits to paydirt. With much of the Lancers offensive line returning to an offense that continues to baffle opponents its not unreasonable to expect even more in 2013.<\/p>\n
