T HE ifJRD ANNUAL ALL-LOS ANGELES CITY FOOTBALL TEAM, AS SELECTED BY MEMBERS OF THE CITIZENS SAVINGS ALL-SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BOARD OF ATH LETICS, FINDS REPRESENTATIVES FROM 27 LOS ANGELES CITY HIGH SCHOOLS HEADED BY NO LESS THAN 14 PLAYERS FROM THE 4-A DIVISION PLAYOFF FINALISTS...BANNING (8 ) AND CARSON (6 ). THE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION'S PREP SELECTIONS BOARD, WHICH RELEASED THE HONOR TEAMS TODAY, NAMED W O OFFENSIVE AND TWO DEFENSIVE TEAMS IN 1979, WITH PLAYERS OF THE YEAR BEING NAMED IN EACH OF THE CITY'S THREE DIVISIONS. FOUR-A DIVISION (MADE UP OF HARBOR, CROSSTOWN & VALLEY 4-A LEAGUES) PLAYERS OF THE YEAR ARE BANNING HIGH'S JUNIOR FULLBACK, MICHAEL ALO, AND CARSON'S TWO-WAY STANDOUT DARREL HOPPER. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, CARSON LOST A ONE-POINT DE CISION TO BANNING FOR THE 4-A TITLE, THE PILOTS EDGED THE COLTS 14-13 BEFORE CLOSE TO 20,000 FANS THIS YEAR AT EAST LA STADIUM. LAST YEAR IT WAS 7-6. CHATSWORTH BEAT CANOGA PARK 14-11 FOR THE 3-A DIVISION TITLE, COMPLETING A PERFECT 12-0 SEASON AND THE CHANCELLORS' SENIOR LINEBACKER DENNIS RAY WAS THE FOUN DATION BOARD'S CHOICE FOR PLAYER OF THE YEAR HONORS. OUTSTANDING TWO-WAY PLAYER CHRIS LaFOUNTAINE OF VERDUGO HILLS WAS VOTED PLAYER OF THE YEAR HONORS IN 2-A PLAY FOR 1979. JORDAN WAS 2-A DIVISION CHAMP 6-0 OVER LOS ANGELES HIGH. PLAYERS HONORED AT CULVER CITY AWARDS CEREMONIES JANUARY 26IH The 43rd annual All-Southern California Board of Athletics Football Awards Program will be held at Culver City Veterans Memorial Auditorium on Saturday morning, January 26 at 10:30 a.m. Those players named to the First All-Los Angeles City Football Team, both offense and defense, will be honored in annual ceremonies with coaches, school administrators and Foundation Board members taking part in the pro gram. Framed scroll awards will be awarded to all first team members, with championship coaches also receiving special recognition, Players of the Year will be recipients of the Foundation's traditional bronze medallion award.

Both 4-A Division Players of the Year are'extremely versatile ball play ers. Mike Alo, junior fullback for coach Chris Ferragamo's 4-time L.A. City champions (a new record...Harry Edelson's Fremont teams of 1948-50 won three straight titles) averaged 6 .2 7 yards per carry as he rushed for 629 yards in the Pilots' 12 ba}.l games. He scored 91 points during the year, gained around 150 yards as a receiver, kicked off and punted. Darrel Hopper, Carson High's all-around star, was among Southern Calif ornia's top prep defensive backs this past season. He intercepted 12 aerials during the season (21 career) and was the city's top rated punter with a 4 3 .9- yard average. Darrel caught 13 passes for 397 yards, registering a sparkling 30.54-yard per catch average... just under Wes Walker's school record 32.5 yards, Chatsworth's Chancellors were undefeated in Central Valley League play and swept through the playoffs to register a perfect 12-0 season...concluding with a 14-11 title-winning effort over league-mate Canoga Park. And it was Chatsworth's "best football pLayer" (in the words of first-year coach Myron Gibford) who was acclaimed tne J-A Division's Player of the Year. Ray anchored Chatsworth's defense and is a two-time all—leaguer. An All-City receiver on last year's team, Chris LaFountaine was named the 2-A Division's top performer. Behind LaFountaine's 1,000-yard rushing season (and his 128 points led city scorers) Verdugo Hills went from a 1-8 year in '7 8 to a title-winning (Metro Valley League) 7-1-1 season this year. The Dons beat Eagle Rock in the first round of the playoffs, but lost to Jordan, the eventual 2-A Division champion, in the semi-final round. pick up teams-- © LA84 Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
