ALL-CENTRAL COAST SECTION
Player of the Year TARIQ BRACY, MILPITAS
By HAROLD ABEND Prep2Prep
When Milpitas was upset by Salinas in the Central Coast Section Open Division I championship game, a lot of people wrote off the boys from northeastern Santa Clara County, and frankly, it would have been easy for Trojans’ star Tariq Bracy and his teammates to sulk after the loss and go in the tank.
However, to the delight of Milpitas fans the exact opposite occurred.
While Salinas was sent off to the CIF Northern Regional 4-AA Bowl Game where they lost to Placer-Auburn, the Trojans were placed in the NorCal 4-A Bowl Game where they first avenged a loss two years ago at Campolindo in the NorCal 3-AA Bowl Game by going back to Moraga and winning 52-38, and then going on to beat Southwest-El Centro 45-41 in the state CIF 4-A Bowl Game to win a first-ever state championship for Milpitas.
As a result of what he did to lead his team to the Bowl Game title, an outstanding season as a running back, defensive back and kick return specialist, and an overall splendid three-plus year varsity career as a Trojan, Bracy has been named the Prep2Prep Central Coast Section Player of the Year.
“That’s big. I appreciate it so much,” was Bracy’s comment when told he was the selection.
It’s not like Tariq had a letdown in the Salinas loss. He had 27 carries for 211 yards and scored the Trojans only two touchdowns in a 25-18 loss.
Against Campolindo, and a team that had faced Bracy two years ago and was prepared for him, the 6-0, 170-pound Notre Dame-bound senior had season highs of 36 carries for 312 yards and four TDs in the victory.
Bracy certainly impressed Campolindo coach Kevin Macy.
“He was real good as a sophomore the first time we played them. But he was so polished as a senior. He’s so natural out there on the field,” Macy said. “We made everything as tight as we could on him and he slipped through everything. They didn’t blow holes through us, but he was so slippery, just so good. He’s also just a very composed and classy kid.”
The 600-plus mile bus ride down to El Centro had a stopover in Palm Desert, but once Tariq got to the town just north of the Mexican border on Interstate 8, he put on a display that showcased all his skills.
Bracy had 26 carries for 239 yards and one touchdown on a 70-yard run. He had two pass receptions for 48 yards, with one catch going 36-yards for a TD, and he scored a third touchdown on a 55-yard punt return. The locals won’t soon forget the day he came to El Centro and was somewhat of a one-man wrecking crew.
On the season Bracy had 235 carries for 2,042 yards rushing (8.7 yards per carry) with 24 touchdowns. He also had 15 pass receptions for 199 yards and three more scores. Bracy scored on three pass interceptions and the one on special teams in his final game, had two 2-point conversions, and on defense he had 31 tackles and three interceptions. He even had a 35-yard pass completion.
For his career Bracy finishes with 4,194 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns. He also had 85 pass receptions for 1,707 yards and 20 TDs. Throw in all his return yardage on 14 career interceptions and special teams and Bracy ends up with 7,009 total yards for his career. On defense, besides the 14 picks, he had 115 tackles and two fumble recoveries.
“He’s dynamic, a physical kid,” said Milpitas Coach Kelly King, who besides getting a state title got his 200th career coaching victory this season. “Right up there as one of Milpitas’ all-time best players with Deltha O’Neal and Vita Vea.”
O’Neal went on to Cal and the NFL while Vea was recently named the top defensive lineman in the Pac-12 for the second time as a Husky at Washington.
“He’s a hard worker that contributes in so many ways,” remarked King. “Rushing, receiving, special teams, and even passing, plus he’s our shutdown corner(back). As a freshman you could see the talent right away and he’s made a natural progression.”
“He’s a great person, a role model on the field and in the classroom. You can’t ask for a better kid,” continued King. “He was the kind of leader that led us in the right direction after the letdown with the loss to Salinas.”
On playing with his twin?
Tariq has a twin brother, 5-11, 180-pound Tyree Bracy, the Trojans’ quarterback. He had a tough outing against Salinas but came back to throw for 266 yards and three TDs and 50 yards rushing against Campolindo, and 124 yards passing with two TDs and 64 yards rushing with a third score in the big win at El Centro.
“There nothing like playing with your twin brother. We’ve been doing it since were eight,” Tariq said. “He knows what I’m thinking and I know what he’s thinking. It’s a little sad he’ll be going off to a different school and I’m going to Notre Dame.”
Why Notre Dame?
“Notre Dame is a prestigious school and with the opportunity to get that kind of education I couldn’t give up that opportunity,” said Tariq, a 3.0 GPA student-athlete that’s undecided between studying journalism, psychology or business once he gets to South Bend.
Not winning the CCS title was a bit of a bummer but it was still a great season.
“It was tough the last year to not win CCS, but we picked it up and won state,” Bracy said. “Everything about this year was special, especially playing with my twin the last time and winning state.”
For all of his accomplishments this season, and over a remarkable varsity football career, we are pleased to honor Bracy as our CCS Player of the Year.
Other players considered for this award include Half Moon Bay’s Chase Hofmann, Saint Francis’ Darrell Page, and Serra’s Patrick Nunn.
Coach of the Year KEITH HOLDEN, HALF MOON BAY
Half Moon Bay's Keith Holden is the choice for Prep2Prep CCS Coach of the Year.
By NATE SMITH Prep2Prep
When Half Moon Bay was moved from the Ocean Division to the Bay Division in 2017, the Cougars’ ability to compete against larger schools was questioned, especially with Menlo-Atherton being seemingly reloaded, after a run to a CIF title game in 2016.
Instead, what transpired was a completely dominant run through the regular season and the section playoffs, one which exceeded anyone’s expectations outside the small peninsula community, and turned into one of the top feel-good stories in Northern California football.
When Half Moon Bay opened the season with a 63-7 thrashing of Saratoga, heads nodded and people figured that was par for the course, with a veteran team featuring multiple three-year varsity starters who had already won back-to-back section championships in Division V. Eyes opened a little bigger when the Cougars raced past Palo Alto, 48-7, and by the time Bay Division play arrived, Half Moon Bay had shut out three straight opponents and allowed just 15 points in the first five weeks.

Other coaches considered include Serra’s Patrick Walsh, Gilroy’s Jubenal Rodriguez, and Christopher’s Tim Pierleoni.
FIRST TEAM OFFENSE
Luke Bottari, Serra
Position: Quarterback
Year: Junior
Bottari steered the Padres to the best finish in school history, winning 12 straight games to cap an unbeaten run through the WCAL, followed by CCS Open II and CIF 2-A titles. The Most Valuable Quarterback in the WCAL completed 72 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,770 yards and 25 touchdowns, while adding six more scores on the ground. He was spectacular in the CCS title game win over St. Francis, completing 28-of-33 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns.
Isiah Kendrick, Serra
Position: Running Back
Year: Senior
The first-team All-WCAL selection set the foundation for the Padres’ offense, rushing for 1,620 yards and 30 touchdowns, while displaying his versatility with another 433 yards and four scores in the passing game. Kendrick was particularly impressive in the state bowl series, scoring seven touchdowns in the last two games, with a 217-yard effort in the CIF 2-A North final against Tulare Union.
Chase Hofmann, Half Moon Bay
Position: Running Back
Year: Senior
Half Moon Bay’s misdirection option offense got plenty of players involved, but none were as crucial as Hofmann, who ran for 1,382 yards and a whopping 38 touchdowns, including a 170-yard performance in the CIF 3-A title game against Steele Canyon. The PAL-Bay Player of the Year added two more receiving scores, giving him 40 offensive touchdowns. Over the last two years, he amassed 3,971 yards and 71 touchdowns from scrimmage.
Darrell Page, St. Francis
Position: Running Back
Year: Junior
The Most Valuable Running Back in the WCAL not only stepped into a new starting position this year, but then put the Lancers on his back, rushing for 2,309 yards and 23 touchdowns, as St. Francis won its first CIF title, beating Manteca and Grace Brethren to capture the CIF 2-A crown.
Tuni Fifita, Milpitas
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
Nearly half of the Trojans’ passing yards and scores went to Fifita, as he racked up 47 catches for 910 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Senior of the Year in the SCVAL-De Anza, where Milpitas went unbeaten prior to winning a CIF title, Fifita was especially dominant in a CIF North regional win over Campolindo, when he had nine catches for 167 yards and two scores. The Division I recruit, with offers from multiple Pac-12 and Mountain West schools, added four interceptions while playing defensive back and averaged 41 yards per punt.
Patrick Nunn, Serra
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
One of the dominant two-way players in the section, the Washington State commit and Most Valuable Wide Receiver in the WCAL racked up 64 catches for 876 yards and nine touchdowns in the passing game, despite playing in an offense which featured multiple targets and a prolific run game. His production was steady all season long, with a season-high six catches on six different occasions.
Rodney Chand, Fremont
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
The Senior of the Year in the SCVAL-El Camino, Chand finished a phenomenal two seasons with 60 catches for 1,067 yards and 18 touchdowns this year. His best performances all came against the Firebirds’ biggest opponents, including a 232-yard, three-touchdown game in a win over Mountain View. Chand accumulated 1,900 yards and 26 scores over the last two seasons.
Jason Lloyd, Carlmont
Position: Tight End
Year: Senior
The Air Force commit was a standout on both sides of the ball for the Scots, and was named MVP of the PAL-Lake for his dominant efforts. The 6-foot-4 senior scored four times in the first four games of the season, before Carlmont shifted to an even more run-heavy approach after losing its quarterback. From that point, he was an edge-setter, paving the way for a strong run game. He could have also made our team on defense, after recording 82 tackles and 18 sacks at outside linebacker.
Ian Tapueluelu, Aragon
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior
The 10-win Dons averaged over 220 yards per game on the ground, largely thanks to this two-time first-team All-PAL recipient. The 6-foot-1, 275-pound interior lineman not only moved piles offensively with his 27 pancake blocks, but also contributed on defense with his five tackles for a loss.
Daniel Machado, Valley Christian
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior
Machado anchored a Warriors’ line which paved the way to average 236 yards per game on the ground. The first-team All-WCAL selection was the key cog to a rushing attack that averaged close to seven yards per carry and gave the passing game time to throw downfield, averaging nearly 25 yards per completion.
Tariq Bracy, Milpitas
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
It would be easier to list what Bracy did not do, rather than what the SCVAL-De Anza MVP did do during his senior season. Among his tangible accomplishments include 2,042 yards and 24 touchdowns on the ground, 15 catches for 299 yards and three scores, three interceptions – all of which were returned for touchdowns, and a punt return for a score. The Notre Dame commit was at his best in the final two games of the year, rushing for 551 yards and scoring seven times in the state bowl games.
Dylan Williams, Half Moon Bay
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
Williams was the quintessential Swiss Army knife for the Cougars, and would have this list as a kicker were it not for his well-utilized tools in other aspects of the game. As one of the elite kickers in the country, Williams drilled 71 of his 93 kickoffs into the end zone, was perfect on 73 extra-point attempts, and hit 10 of 12 field goals with a long of 49 yards. He also returned punts and kicks, scoring three times on returns, and hauled in 24 passes for 481 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver.
FIRST TEAM DEFENSE
Atonio Mafi, Serra
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Senior
The WCAL Player of the Year and UCLA commit was a standout on both sides of the ball, and was especially disruptive in the middle of the Padres’ defense. Offensively, until a season-ending Achilles injury at the end of the regular season, Mafi anchored an offensive line which paved the way for a unit that averaged 432 yards per game. Defensively, Serra held four of its league opponents to seven points or less, an astounding feat in the WCAL, and Mafi’s dominance on the interior was a major factor.
Noa Ngalu, Menlo-Atherton
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Junior
Offensive linemen around the PAL can’t be looking forward to the fact that Ngalu has one more year remaining for the Bears. The first-team All-PAL selection disrupted opposing offenses with 57 solo tackles, including 17 tackles for a loss, and six sacks. He is already seeing plenty of college offers coming his way, including Washington, Hawaii, and Fresno State.
Kyle Smith, Los Gatos
Position: Linebacker
Year: Junior
The top underclassman in the SCVAL, Smith was named the Junior of the Year for the De Anza Division, after earning last year’s Sophomore of the Year honors. He racked up close to 200 tackles for the Wildcats, while also becoming a presence on offense, where he scored 10 touchdowns.
Daniel Heimuli, Menlo-Atherton
Position: Linebacker
Year: Junior
Heimuli was named the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the PAL-Bay, after notching 93 tackles, with 18 tackles for a loss, and six sacks. He has numerous major college offers rolling in already, including Oregon, Washington, Fresno State, and San Jose State.
Davion Cox, Aragon
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior
A two-sport standout and three-year varsity starter for the Dons, Cox shined on both sides of the ball, but especially in the defensive secondary. He had seven interceptions and four forced fumbles this season, while adding close to 800 yards and eight touchdowns as a receiver.
Lucas Andrighetto, St. Francis
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior
Able to effectively stop the run, as one of the Lancers’ leading tacklers, and defend the pass, evidenced by numerous pass break-ups and multiple interception – including a key pick to seal the victory in the state final – this first-team All-WCAL selection got it done on both sides of the ball, but was critical to the team’s success on defense. For good measure, though, Andrighetto also added over 400 yards and three scores from scrimmage.
Spencer Corona, Menlo-Atherton
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
There were few well-rounded athletes at the level of Corona, who impacted the game in every way imaginable for the Bears. Offensively, he had 57 catches for 861 yards and nine touchdowns, including a 163-yard performance in a playoff win over San Benito. Defensively, he had 38 tackles with six pass break-ups. Special teams was another area of strength, booming 47 of his 67 kickoffs into the end zone and drilling six of eight field goals, with a long of 43 yards.
Cameron Rottler, Westmont
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
Rotter did everything for the Warriors, who got back to the playoffs despite having sustained heavy losses to graduation from the previous year. The Mt. Hamilton Offensive Player of the Year completed 66 percent of his passes for 1,903 yards and 27 touchdowns, with just five interceptions, and ran for another 608 yards. His kicking ability added a whole other dimension, placing 32 of his 37 kickoffs into the end zone and hitting on five of seven field goals, with a long of 41 yards.
SECOND TEAM OFFENSE
Brett Reade, Salinas
Position: Quarterback
Year: Senior
After a slow start to the year, Reade turned into an elite dual-threat quarterback, carrying Salinas to league and section titles, and garnering MBL-Gabilan MVP honors as a result. He completed 62 percent of his passes for 1,619 yards and 15 touchdowns, with just four interceptions, while also running for 1,093 yards and 14 scores. In the CCS title game against a tough Milpitas defense, Reade accounted for 282 yards and three touchdowns.
Gavin Tomberlin, Half Moon Bay
Position: Quarterback
Year: Senior
His third year starting under center was the best for Tomberlin, who earned Offensive Player of the Year honors in the PAL-Bay. He led an extremely efficient attack for the Cougars, who won their first 14 games of the season, including an unbeaten run through one of the section’s most difficult leagues and a CCS Open III championship. For the year, Tomberlin completed 59 percent of his passes for 1,940 yards and 23 touchdowns, with just three interceptions. In a ground-based attack, he added 524 yards and seven scores on the ground.
Joseph Barnes, Gilroy
Position: Running Back
Year: Junior
The Mustangs’ unbeaten season, along with MBL-Pacific and CCS Division V titles, happened largely due to their ability to run the ball, and the undersized Barnes was at the center of the Wing-T attack. The CCS wrestling champion ran for 1,781 yards and 26 touchdowns, and Gilroy’s offense didn’t skip a beat even when its starting quarterback was lost for the year due to injury.
Kyle Anderson, Leland
Position: Running Back
Year: Junior
Already coming into the year with a target on his back after a stellar sophomore campaign, Anderson lived up to expectations and then some, carrying the Chargers to a share of the BVAL-Santa Teresa championship. He ran for 2,005 yards and 21 touchdowns, including a season-high 268 yards in a CCS Division IV semifinal win over Santa Clara.
Nick Hulman, Hillsdale
Position: Running Back
Year: Senior
Hulman was dominant everywhere for the Fighting Knights, but especially as the workhorse for their offense. He ran for 1,935 yards and 24 touchdowns, while adding close to 300 yards and a pair of scores through the air. He also stood out defensively with 51 tackles, including nine tackles for a loss.
Alton Julian, Valley Christian
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
The Warriors didn’t get the ball into Julian’s hands very often, but when they did, he was absolutely lethal. With just 21 catches this season, nearly half of the team’s completed passes, he scored 12 touchdowns and totaled 668 receiving yards, an average of 32 yards per catch. The first-team All-WCAL selection also added a pair of interceptions on defense.
Hayden Von Almen, Half Moon Bay
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
Von Almen and Tomberlin had a special connection over the last three years, and it was showcased again in 2017. Von Almen shined as a receiver and as a blocker for the Cougars, while hauling in 37 catches for 676 yards and 10 touchdowns, in a run-oriented offensive scheme. His performances got bigger as the year went on, including five-catch, two-touchdown performances in the regular season finale versus Sacred Heart Prep and in the CIF title game against Steele Canyon. He is committed to play at Pacific University in Oregon next year.
Jeffery Weimer, Salinas
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
After missing the first three games of the year due to injury, Weimer exploded in the second half of the season, and especially in the playoffs. The first-team All-MBL selection finished the year with 70 catches for 771 yards and 10 touchdowns, but was especially impressive against the top competition. In the last three games of the year, he had 29 catches for 425 yards.
Vincent Colodny, Los Altos
Position: Tight End
Year: Senior
One of the premier tight ends in Northern California, Colodny had 49 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns this season, despite playing in a Wing-T offense. The first-team All-SCVAL selection has multiple college offers, including Utah and Fresno State.
Moses Tameilau, Serra
Position: Offensive Lineman
Year: Senior
There were worries that the Padres might struggle up front when Atonio Mafi was lost for the post-season, but with Tameilau up front, there was little dropoff if any, on both sides of the ball. The first-team All-WCAL selection paved the way from his right guard position for an offense which put up 114 points in two state playoff games.
David Hernandez, Wilcox
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
Nobody ran a veer scheme to perfection better than Hernandez, who was more dangerous with his legs, but still capable with his arm. Hernandez was named the SCVAL-De Anza Offensive Player of the Year after running for 1,297 yards and 23 touchdowns, while also passing for 790 yards and eight scores.
Troy Rottler, Westmont
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
The receiving end of the Rottler connection, Troy was named the top receiver in the Mt. Hamilton Division, after racking up 560 yards and 12 touchdowns through the air. But that was just a small slice of his impact. He added a pair of rushing scores, had 115 tackles with two interceptions, seven pass break-ups, and three blocked kicks on defense, and also averaged 39 yards per punt.
Dillon Grady, Menlo
Position: Kicker
Year: Junior
Much like the player who he had to replace as the Knights’ kicker – Dylan Williams – Grady did so much more than kick, and he was excellent everywhere. He was perfect on all five of his field goal attempts, with a long of 37 yards, and put 23 of his 63 kickoffs into the end zone. Defensively, he had eight interceptions – three of which he returned for touchdowns, while adding 688 yards and five scores from scrimmage offensively.
SECOND TEAM DEFENSE
DeMarcus Hawkins, Seaside
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Senior
Hawkins was the Co-Offensive Player of the Year in the MBL-Gabilan, but we are placing him here for his impact defensively. Hawkins racked up 92 tackles with 9.5 sacks and two interceptions from his hybrid defensive end-outside linebacker position. He was pretty good offensively as well, with 1,444 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground.
Jon Mae Wafford, Overfelt
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Senior
One of the elite defensive end/outside linebacker hybrid rushers, Wafford has lived in opposing backfields for the last two years. This year, the West Valley Defensive Player of the Year racked up 24 sacks to go with his 16.5 tackles for a loss, among 106 total tackles.
Andrew Castro, Gilroy
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Senior
Castro led a Mustangs’ defense which was tough as nails down the stretch, holding half their opponents to one score or fewer – including CCS Division IV champion Christopher – and allowed more than 21 points just once all season, back in early September. The first-team MBL-Pacific selection racked up 86 tackles with 14 sacks, and was named the league’s Defensive Lineman of the Year.
EJ Lahlouh, Serra
Position: Linebacker
Year: Junior
The first-team WCAL selection was a rock for the Padres’ defense, especially in the CIF 2-AA title game win over Cajon, when he had 14 tackles, eight of them solo. He was also a fixture in opponents’ backfields on a weekly basis, including a three-game stretch in the WCAL where he had seven tackles for a loss. His role expanded later in the year as well, running for 122 yards in the two state playoff games.
Camron Grant, Aragon
Position: Linebacker
Year: Senior
Grant was simply dominant defensively for the Dons, and was named the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the PAL-Bay as a result. He was especially effective at penetrating the backfield, with 21 tackles for a loss, 12 sacks, and 34 quarterback hurries. For good measure, he added over 500 yards and 11 touchdowns as a running back.
Opeti Fangupo, St. Francis
Position: Linebacker
Year: Junior
Named the Junior Player of the Year in the WCAL, Fangupo was a two-way standout for the Lancers, but especially at the heart of the St. Francis defense, a unit which held six opponents to seven points or less, and allowed just 13 points in the state championship game.
Payton Mitchell, Christopher
Position: Linebacker
Year: Senior
The Defensive Player of the Year in the MBL-Pacific, Mitchell racked up 133 tackles with six tackles for a loss, an interception, and five pass break-ups. He had 12 tackles in the Cougars’ win over Leland for the CCS Division IV title, when he added 55 yards on the ground in an extended offensive appearance.
Daniel Benjamin, Jefferson
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior
Benjamin was named the Special Teams Player of the Year in the PAL-Lake, but was an impact player in all three phases. Defensively, he was a pure ball-hawk, with eight interceptions – three of which he returned for touchdowns – and five pass break-ups, to go with 49 tackles. He was also the team’s go-to receiver on offense, with 48 catches for 738 yards and seven touchdowns, and averaged over 30 yards per return on kickoffs and punts.
Harrison Zhang, Sobrato
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior
Named the Most Valuable Defensive Back in the West Valley, Zhang was an all-around impact player for the Bulldogs, who went unbeaten in league play. The strong safety racked up 82 tackles and eight interceptions, to go with four forced fumbles.
Sean Fitzgerald, Half Moon Bay
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Senior
The 6-foot-2 cornerback, who earned first-team PAL-Bay honors, notched five interceptions against PAL opponents, to go with his 40 tackles. He also displayed versatility in the CIF title game against Steele Canyon, stepping in to kick for Williams, and showing an ability to place kickoffs in the end zone.
Chris Park, Serra
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
The Columbia commit was all over the field for the Padres, and was named the Most Valuable Utility Player in the WCAL. He had 30 catches for 456 yards and five touchdowns, added an 80-yard touchdown run against Sacred Heart Cathedral in his only carry of the season, and had two interceptions in the secondary.
Are’on Mitchell, Sacred Heart Cathedral
Position: Utility
Year: Senior
In a break-through season for the Fightin’ Irish, Mitchell impacted all three phases of the game, as one of the team’s top receivers, an elite defensive back, and kick returner. His best game may have come in the CCS playoffs, with 219 yards and a pair of scores through the air in a loss to Live Oak.
