While a Player of the Year is one that has numbers that are too big to ignore and stats that are off the charts a Most Valuable Player is one that does so many things well that without him it would be difficult for his team to win. An MVP does a little bit of everything. He makes big plays on offense and dominates on defense. He’ll score a touchdown on one possession and make a tackle on a fourth down stop on the next. This year Bonita’s Noah Mikhail was that guy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

On the Bonita roster Mikhail is listed as a safety, wide receiver and linebacker but he was so much more than that. He carried the ball 37 times, usually in the red zone, and rushed for 184 yards and 5 touchdowns. As a receiver he caught 17 passes for 264 yards and two scores. But he made his hay on defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikhail had 103 total tackles, yes 103! with 70 of those being solo. He made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks with 6 sacks and 4 hurries. It was hard for quarterbacks to throw over him as he had 12 pass deflections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bearcats, with Mikhail doing his thing on both sides of the ball, won the Sierra League and completed a perfect 10-0 regular season run before advancing to the CIF Division 3 Playoffs. Bonita beat Cathedral in the first round but Mikhail injured his foot in the game and was not able to play in the second round, a 24-0 loss to Edison. It wasn’t a coincidence that the only loss of Bonita’s season was the one in which Mikhail was unable to play. At the game in street clothes Mikhail participated in pregame warmups with his teams and was Bonita’s biggest cheerleader and part-time coach during the contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s just who Noah Mikhail is. He did little bit of everything for the Bearcats and did everything extremely well. And going forward he will be doing it at the next level as he is taking his talents to Texas A&M. He also will be taking with him the Mid Valley Sports 2024 Most Valuable Player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
