But when you score 26 touchdowns and run for more than 2300 yards it&#8217;s hard to be ignored.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Most Valuable Player is different from Player of the Year in the sense that the team would be hard pressed to have the success it had without that particular player. An MVP is the most valuable to the success and fortunes of the team. Southeast Division champion Downey had a great season \u2013 one that will be remembered for decades to come. But without Huff, the Vikings wouldn&#8217;t have made it that far.<\/p>\n<p>Huff rushed for 2364 yards and scored 24 touchdowns, an average of 9.85 yards per carry. He had 240 carries, which was nearly half of the team&#8217;s 501 total carries. He averaged 181 yards per game on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Huff also was second on the team in\u00a0receptions with 24 and third in receiving yards\u00a0with\u00a0373 yards while scoring\u00a0two more touchdowns. He had 2737 yards combined. He scored 26 of the team&#8217;s 57 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>He was held to 100 yards just once \u2013 92 against Paramount on October 19- and he rushed for 200 yards or more on four separate occasions. You want a big game performer? Huff averaged 206 yards per game in the four game playoff run including 268 against Santa Fe in the semi finals and 224 against La Serna in the Southeast Final.<\/p>\n<p>The only question now is what will he do for an encore in 2013 . For 2012, Justin Huff is our Southeast Division MVP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest Newcomer of the Year: Nordhoff\u2019s Taylor Livingston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast Newcomer of the Year: Downey\u2019s Justin Huff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid-Valley Newcomer of the Year: Sierra Canyon\u2019s Isaiah Renfro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest DC of the Year: Nordhoff\u2019s Cliff Farrar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast DC of the Year: La Serna\u2019s Margarito Beltran<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid-Valley DC of the Year: Northview\u2019s Marcel Perez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest OC of the Year: La Salle\u2019s Russell Gordon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast OC of the Year: Norwalk\u2019s Jessie Ceniceros<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid-Valley OC of the Year: El Monte\u2019s Brian Tabatabai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest Coach of the Year: North Torrance\u2019s Todd Croce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast Coach of the Year: Downey\u2019s Jack Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid-Valley Coach of the Year: Monrovia\u2019s Ryan Maddox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest Player of the Year: North Torrance\u2019s Jorge Hernandez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast Player of the Year: Norwalk\u2019s Rashaad Penny<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid-Valley Player of the Year: San Dimas\u2019s Jake Payton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Northwest Most Valuable Player: Gladstone\u2019s Kevin Amezquita<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeast Most Valuable Player: Downey&#8217;s Justin Huff <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other release Dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mid-Valley Most Valuable Player\u2014January 13<\/p>\n<p>All Northwest Team\u2014January 14<\/p>\n<div id=\"Section1\" dir=\"LTR\">\n<div id=\"Section2\" dir=\"LTR\">\n<div id=\"Section3\" dir=\"LTR\">\n<p>All Southeast Team\u2014January 15<\/p>\n<p>All Mid-Valley Team\u2014January 16<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Huff is only a sophomore and he was already named our \u201cnewcomer\u201d of the year.
