MICHAEL MCCULLOUGH and MATT MARTINDALE are both juniors. congrats to all the players.
ryan ur. Sophomore LH
thanks for the correction, compa.
Brandon Birdsell is actually BRENDON BIRDSELL. Way to go Brendon!
Nice to see Brendon Birdsell of Beckman finally getting his props. He’s being recruited by all the top schools but for some reason OCVarsity never seems to mention him in ANY articles. Maybe if he went to Tesoro he could get some recognition.
Props to Brendon. Both “BOOKENDS” should have been All CIF. They complimented eachother. How do you get 1st Team All League & City Defense and not get to be part of 1st Team All CIF? Best wishes for Brendon and his future. Well deserved. Feel sorry for Beckmans future football program. Good players should be awarded for there efforts, not spoken about negatively by coaching staff to future players. Look forward to the future.
Matt Giovinazzo is Utility Player of the Year for the Southern Div.
i believe if the team didn’t make it to the CIF playoffs there players should not get ALL CIF honors. i know its by division, but how can u compare some players who didn’t didnt compete in cif play?
1234says What are you talking about all players should be recognized for their acheivments wheter the team is in CIF or not, this isnt Germany of 1940 and you should know better.
Wherez alkeem flowerz heez the bezt linemen in ggl and he iz not up here and to gg playerz are up oh wut?
way to go Nuñez! …representing Los!
and he’s a junior, not senior.
hey miles…. check out the all-cif lists from the cif office. they have several players with their incorrect year.
