Granite Hills senior Courtney Miller-Thompson was named Grossmont Hills League Offensive Player of the Year, and Helix senior linebacker Jeremy Davis earned Defensive Player of the Year honors after helping the Highlanders win their first league championship since 2021. Granite Hills senior Jacob Nunez was named Kicker of the Year, and Helix’s Damaja Jones was voted Coach of the Year.

Miller-Thompson led the league’s reported season totals with 963 receiving yards and 17 touchdown catches in 10 games. He and fellow first-team selection Zach Benitez gave Granite Hills the league’s leading receiver and passer. Benitez threw for 2,314 yards and 30 touchdowns, helping the Eagles finish the regular season 7-3. Nunez made seven of 10 field-goal attempts, including a 32-yarder in the Eagles’ August win over Mission Hills.

Davis recorded 81 tackles, including 50 solo stops, 7½ tackles for loss and 2½ sacks. Helix finished 4-0 in league play under Jones, clinching the outright title with a 42-31 win over Granite Hills in the regular-season finale. The victory snapped the Eagles’ 19-game league winning streak and ended their four-year run as league champions.

Helix took 11 of the 22 first-team spots, with junior Jeremy Robinson selected on both offense and defense. His two-way value showed up against Steele Canyon, when he caught a touchdown pass and returned a fumble for another score. A week later, he turned a short pass from fellow first-team pick Caden Thompson into the go-ahead 25-yard touchdown against Granite Hills.

Grossmont senior quarterback Tyler Holmes made the first team after rushing for a league-leading 948 yards. Steele Canyon senior Luke Rode earned a first-team defensive spot with 76 tackles, including 68 solo. All five schools were represented across the two teams, with Cayden Mobley, Jose Gutierrez, Khyree Teartt and Dominic Lopez earning second-team honors for Mount Miguel.
