Fourteen of 24 4-A L.A. City High Schools are represented on the 1976 all-star selections, with champion Banning leading the way...as expected. The Pilots landed 11 positions on the 49-man offensive and defensive teams, five on the offensive unit and six on defense. Three 4-A schools placed six players on the unit teams...runner-up Cleveland, semi-finalist Palisades, and quarter-finalist Carson. Banning, in winning four city playoff games in overwhelming fashion, shut out three foes...Crenshaw (40-0), San Fernando (29-0) and Cleveland in the finals (34-0). In the semi-finals Banning bettered Monroe, 56-34. The Pilots' scoring average during the season (3 9 .8 points) was maintained in the playoffs (39.7). The stout Ferragamo defense during the season (9.7 points allowed) was stiffened in the four playoff games....Pilot defenders allowing an average 8 ,5 points (all, obviously, in the Monroe, semi-final battle). Two players are repeaters from last year's All-City selections. Besides Freeman McNeil, who was a first-team backfield pick, San Pedro's fine defensive lineman, Vince Teora, returns. Vince was a third-team pick last season, on a combined 4-A and 3~A team, © LA84 Foundation. All Rights Next Reserved. Page-- OFFENSIVE TEAM DEFENSIVE TEAM ** FIRST TEAM ** ** FIRST TEAM **
