EL CAJON (12-12-15) — An amazing 15 East County football players were named to the 2015 All-San Diego Section CIF Breitbard Media team.
Nine of those picks came from state semifinalist Helix.
Granite Hills also had two selections, while Grossmont, Christian, Santana and Valhalla each had one.
Much like the Highlanders’ dominating record of 11-2 overall, Helix running back NATE STINSON was tabbed as the Offensive Player of the Year.
The county Defensive Player of the Year award went to the Highlanders’ EZEKIAL NOA.
Stinson has been a record-breaker on almost every hand-off he’s taken, including 35 rushing touchdowns.
Noa, who still has a year to add to his totals, was an unblockable linebacker who averaged better than 10 tackles per game.
The list of scholarships is almost endless among this group.
Granite Hills is the only other team which was recognized for more than one athlete, and both were on second team. They are defensive lineman JACOB BURTON, ticketed for Arizona, and linebacker RILEY REYES.
