ALL-NORTH COAST SECTION

Player of the Year
ANTOINE CUSTER, RB, DE LA SALLE


By NATE SMITH
Prep2Prep

After his sophomore season ended with an ankle injury early in the Spartans’ loss to St. John Bosco, Antoine Custer got to work.

“He became more dedicated everywhere this past off-season, and the results showed on the field,” said De La Salle head coach Justin Alumbaugh.

Custer finished the season with nearly 2,100 yards from scrimmage and 26 total touchdowns, despite being pulled early from a majority of the Spartans’ lopsided victories, and getting fewer than 10 touches in six of the team’s 14 games. Beyond the impressive numbers, however, was the fact that he became De La Salle’s most consistent performer, all while playing both sides of the ball and returning kickoffs.

For his efforts, the junior was named the East Bay Athletic League’s Most Valuable Player, and finished the season with a flourish, rushing for 270 yards and four touchdowns in the Spartans’ 63-42 win over Centennial. In fact, Custer’s biggest performances all happened under the brightest lights this season, also running for over 200 yards against Servite and in the NCS title game against Pittsburg.

With over half of the Spartans’ starting lineup returning along with Custer next season, he will easily be at the top of the discussion for a repeat award in 2015.

Coach of the Year
RICH COTRUVO, JUSTIN-SIENA

In leading Justin-Siena to its second North Coast Section title in the last three years, and their sixth title since 2000, head coach Rich Cotruvo has cemented his legacy in Braves history.

The road to the title this year, however, was much more unexpected than the 2012 championship, as the tri-champions of the Marin County Athletic League were underdogs in each of their last two games.

Prior to the Division IV title game, opposing head coach Keith Minor of Saint Mary’s voiced his respect for both Cotruvo and the program he has built at the Lasallian school in Napa.

“They are the benchmark for success in Division 4,” said Minor. “Those kids fully buy into everything he asks them to, and the results are evident year in and year out.”

Despite that consistent approach, few expected this year’s Justin-Siena team to contend for another title. For starters, Saint Mary’s was returning a large amount of talent from its 2013 team that had won the section title. Beyond that, the Braves dropped their opener to a Piedmont team that would go undefeated and earn the number two seed in the playoffs.

Two losses in his team's first three games did not change Cotruvo’s approach, nor the style of his team, as its relentless blue-collar approach to defense and a ball-control offense resulted in three consecutive victories by shutout, including a 3-0 win over eventual Division III finalist Marin Catholic. A loss to Novato in late October prevented the Braves from capturing an outright league title, but would be the last time the team would taste defeat in 2014.

Cotruvo’s veer option offense, combined with a stiff and opportunistic defense, led to a 14-3 win in a rematch with Piedmont in the section semifinals. That gave the Braves a shot at heavily favored Saint Mary’s. With at least half a dozen players on their current roster who will be playing on Saturdays after high school graduation, the Panthers' talent level seemed to overwhelm the Braves’ roster, which did not feature any top-tier college recruits.

What the apparent disparity between the rosters did not show, however, was the Braves’ belief in themselves, a belief ingrained by their coaching staff.


FIRST TEAM OFFENSE

Mitch Daniels, Concord
Position: Quarterback
Year: Senior

Daniels completed 68 percent of his passes for 55 touchdowns and nearly 4,000 yards, leading Concord to the Division II NCS championship game against Clayton Valley, the only team to beat the Minutemen this season. He is currently receiving strong interest from Idaho State and Valparaiso.

Year: Senior

James received Sonoma County League Player of the Year honors as a multiple threat for the Tigers, helping lead them to the Division III semifinals, where.

Malik Blackburn, Concord
Position: Running Back

Blackburn was the Diablo Valley Athletic League’s Offensive Player of the Year, scoring 36 touchdowns with 2,530 yards from scrimmage. In addition to his 1,863 rushing yards, he also caught 57 passes out of the backfield.



JJ Koski, San Ramon Valley
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior

Playing in a balanced offense and getting attention from top corners on a weekly basis, Koski scored 15 touchdowns, along with 56 catches for 881 yards. An opposing coach said he is “so tough to defend, because all routes are in his repertoire, and he runs them all extremely well.” He is committed to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.



Kerr Johnson, Jr., Analy

Matt Snyder, California
Position: Tight End
Year: Senior

The Nebraska-bound Snyder should thrive in Mike Riley’s zone and play-action offensive system. A dominant blocker on the edge of the line, Snyder also had 408 yards receiving on 17 catches, averaging 24 yards per catch with four touchdowns. For good measure, he added 57 tackles from his defensive end position.



Drew Sullivan, De La Salle
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior

Sullivan (6-3, 315) has an offer from Cal after a senior year in which he paved the way for the Spartans’ dominant run game, which averaged over 400 yards each week.



Tyler Whisenhunt, California
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior

The Grizzlies averaged over five yards per carry on the ground behind the attacking nature of Whisenhunt (6-4, 285). He holds numerous college offers, including UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii, and Cal Poly.

Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior

Hanson (6-5, 285) was the Humboldt-Del Norte Big 5 Co-Lineman of the Year, and is committed to Oregon. He was not only solid in pass protection for the Loggers, but also in the run game and displayed great agility in space as a lead blocker on screen passes.



Matt Medeiros, De La Salle
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior

Medeiros was the proverbial glue for the Spartans’ offensive line, as the center in their quick and explosive veer attack. His ability to simultaneously snap the ball and move defenders was critical to their success.



Clayton Demski, Marin Catholic
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Junior

Demski has been touted by Coach Mazi Moayed as possibly the best line prospect to come out of the Wildcats’ program in a long time, high praise considering the Division I programs that have recruited players out of MC. He was first-team all-MCAL, carries a 4.2 GPA, and has schools such as Northwestern already calling.



Willie Williams, Liberty
Position: Utility
Year: Senior

Williams displayed an ability to score from anywhere on the field. The first-team all-league utility player scored on a punt return, kickoff return, and a bubble screen in a playoff win over Amador Valley, and turned a five-yard completion into an 80-yard touchdown on the first play of their quarterfinal game against California. He finished the year with 16 total touchdowns.



FIRST TEAM DEFENSE

Devin Asiasi, De La Salle
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Junior

The physically imposing and extremely athletic junior registered five sacks and six tackles for loss despite very limited playing time in most games. He also added nearly 300 yards receiving and played quarterback when needed. Asiasi (6-5, 255) has interest from most of the Pac-12 schools heading into his senior year, with early offers from USC, Washington State, Cal, Washington, and UCLA.



Ben Schrider, Saint Mary's
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Senior

Schrider is headed to the University of Richmond, where the Spiders’ staff is not yet sure whether they will utilize his talents as a defensive end or as a tight end. Defensively, the senior was a force off the edge for the Panthers, with 15 sacks, and is described as a “hard-nosed player who works his butt off every play.”



Boss Tagaloa, De La Salle
Position: Defensive Line
Year: Junior

Despite drawing double-teams most of the season, Tagaloa still racked up 6.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss, also without the benefit of excessive playing time. The imposing junior (6-3, 290) is being recruited by a majority of the Pac-12, with early offers from Arizona State, Washington State, UCLA, and Cal.



Charlie Ramirez, Pittsburg
Position: Linebacker
Year: Junior

Michael Ross, Rancho Cotate
Position: Linebacker
Year: Senior

Jacob Murrieta, Kennedy-Fremont
Position: Linebacker
Year: Senior

Described by one opposing coach as the best player he has seen in the Mission Valley Athletic League in “at least four years”, Murrieta earned first-team all-league honors on both sides of the ball. He got to the quarterback for an amazing 25 sacks, and added eight touchdowns offensively from his tight end position.



Jordan Parker, Pittsburg
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Junior

Parker earned first-team all-league honors after a season in which he had five interceptions and ten pass break-ups, while constantly being assigned to opposing team’s top receivers and seeing fewer balls thrown his way as the season progressed. He also led the Pirates in receiving touchdowns with five and was the top kick and punt returner on the team. He has multiple Pac-12 offers, including UCLA, Arizona State, and Washington State.



Isaiah Langley, Foothill
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior

An opposing coach put it very simply when talking about the USC-bound Langley: “You’re not going to complete any passes on his side of the field.” In addition to being a shutdown corner, he also scored 15 touchdowns, including a team-high 12 receiving touchdowns.



Prentiss Reid, Salesian
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior

Reid was the TCAL-Rock Defensive Player of the Year after spearheading the Pride defense from his safety position. He totaled 103 tackles to go with six interceptions and nine pass break-ups.
