NOTE: If you read this before, you should take a look at it again. I mistakenly erased one player when I was rearranging the list, and left him out by MISTAKE. Will Munoz, an All-County First teamer was intended to be high on the list!!!

There were two players this season who I thought were the best in the county, and both deserved to be the O.C. Player of the Year.

But in the end there could only be one, and this season the honor went to El Toro's Jacob Kaiser.

The other player who stood out was Servite goalie Chris Violas. He almost singlehandedly led his team to the quarterfinals of the Division I playoffs.

His performance against Esperanza in the first round of the D1 tournament, I believe, was the best turned in by a player this season.

So with that said, it's easy to see who will be No. 1 and 2 on the list of this season's Top Seniors:

THE TOP SENIORS

1. Jacob Kaiser, El Toro

2. Chris Violas, Servite

3. Jonathan Prieto, La Habra

4. Jacob Barron, La Habra

5. Will Munoz, Newport Harbor

6. Ernesto Hinojosa, Tustin

7. Edward Zepeda, Saddleback

8. Jose Bahena, Santa Ana

9. Jordan Valenciano, El Toro
