Since 1937» members of the southland press have gathered to select the top- high sehool grid stars and in turn honor them for their collective grid iron exploits. The 1969 season was a banner year, as records were toppled right and left. McAlister and running mate Kermit Johnson rolled up over l|.,000 yards between them in rushing offense for the season...a remarkable and unmatched feat in the southland. McAlister's total of 2,168 yards is third best in local history, with his carerr mark (¡4.,367 yards) second only to Mickey Cureton's i|,920 yards. The 6-foot-one, 200-pound fullback scored 31 touchdowns over the season and a total of 228 points, third best in CIF history. Glenn Davis set the record of 236 in 19I+2 and then Centennial's Mickey Cureton set the current mark of 2ij.O in 1966. The Foothill League champions charged through their divisional playoff chores, whipping Bishop Amat in the finale 28-27...and more impressively than the score indicated. In the three earlier playoff encounters the Vikings murdered Hueneme 62-0...ran away from Santa Monica I4J4.—19 and sneaked past Lakewood 2ÍJ.-19, before doing in the Angelus League co-champion Lancers. It is interesting to note that coach Pete Yoder, who directed the title-winning Vikings, also quarter backed Downey High to the CIF title back in 1957. Coach Pete was an All-CIF first-team pick that year. No less impressive over the past season were Patrick Haden and John McKay...a tandem which fractured passing and receiving marks for runner-up "AAAA" playoff entrant Bishop Amat. Only juniors, both McKay and Haden thrilled followers all season long. Over the full season Patrick threw 317 times, completing 211 for 3>Ol5 yards...the latter figure a new CIF mark. Johnny McKay, son of the Trojan coach, was no less a figure in Amat's great season. He caught 106 passes during the year to set a record and recorded over 1,500 yards in the process. As expected both Blair and Bishop Amat led all schools in put ting players on the all-star teams. Blair placed five men....four on the first team....while Amat had four, with three first-teamers. Just two players — McAlister and Anaheim QB George Fraser - are back from last year's all-star teams. PAST C.I.F.

______HELMS HALL - B7SO VENICE BOULEVARD » LOB ANGELES. CALIFORNIA 9003.1 SOUTH PASADENA' S DEFENSIVE ACE RICK BOOTH

SOR RELEASE: FRIDAY PMs.. .DEC. 26l{U«ndrl3aturdayalm.'> -TP. JBBC. 26TH_b j w ^ ------K P-ck Booth, num b9T ■one - n»sa»».on...Soutih'^f>iag^B n a 1 3 number one CIF “'AAA" Division football champions for 1969, was named Player of the Year by members of All-Southern California Board of Ath letics as annual selections were made at Helms Hall, Los Angeles. Booth, described by his coach Ray Solari, the former TJniv. of California grid star, as "the finest linebacker I have ever had since coaching here," was the Rio Hondo League's "Lineman of the Year"...unanimously. In speaking of his star performer, Solari says, "Booth has a great competitive instinct. His speed, quickness and toughness have produced seme unbelievable defensive plays. As a wingback on offense he has been an outstanding blocker, pass receiver and ball carrier." Rick led his South Pasadena Tigers over some rough competitors on their way to the CIF "AAA" Division grid crown. South Pasadena won over La Puente (27-7), Fullerton (21-7), Lawndale (21-18) and Bonita in the finals...10-0. In defeating the Bonita Bearcats 10-0 in the division finale, South Pas shut out a club that had been averaging over 38 points per game in three playoff meetings. The Bearcats, in their runner-up role, smashed Northview (3I4.—lip), Glendora (36-lL) and Foot hill (I4.6-2O). As might be expected South Pasadena led the way in placing performers on the 1969 "AAA" All-Star teams. Fullback Mike Klof, who scored over 20 touchdowns during the season, was a first-team backfield pick, along with tackle Paul Cole and MVP Booth. Halfback Bob Schultz was a third-team selection. Runner-up Bonita High placed three of its performers on the honor teams...ace backfield men Charlie Schuhmann and Allen Carter, a pair of fine halfbacks. Other schools to place three players were Crestview League champion Foothill and Camino Real co-champ Lasuen. Teams to place two selections are Rolling Hills, Garden Grove, Temple City, and Neff. For having been selected as the "AAA" Division's MVP for 1969, Rick Booth will be recipient of the Helms medallion award which regu larly goes to the division's Player of the Year. Coach Ray Solari, who has now won four CIF titles out of five attempts, will receive a spec ial "Silver Tumbler" award, annually presented to the title-winning coach in each division. The year 1969 marks the 33rd year that All-Southern California Board of Football has made its annual gridiron selections. All play ers named for honors will be recipients of framed scroll awards to be presented at the annual awards program to be held in January at a time and place yet to be determined.

The Rough- riders won the Eastern Loop crown last year as Greg Hudson was voted a co-Player of the Year. They got as far as the second round of the playoffs in '68, beating Van Nuys, but losing to Manual Arts. This year Roosevelt whipped Carson (íj.8-22), San Fernando (22-12) and Reseda (26-2L) before losing in the finals, 37-20, to Gardena. In each of the above listed ball games Hudson had fine ball games, save the last one...when Gardena cut him off by surrounding him with defenders. This marks the third year that All-Los Angeles City Board of Football has selected offensive and defensive units. In 1967 two teams were picked on both offense and defense, while last year the board began selecting three units for each. Kickers were named to both first and second units in 1969 se lections. . .Gardena' s Glenn Walker and Los Angeles' Herman Morales be ing the "toes" selected. Along with Hudson, named to the second offensive unit in '68, three other city players repeated. Bill Kramer of Poly again made the first defensive unit, while Rick Holoubek (Wilson) and Jim Fenwick (Cleveland), named to the 2nd defensive team this year were 3rd team defenders In '68. Players of the Year within the eight city leagues were as fol lows for 1969: MARINE: GREG HERD...GARDENA...FULLBACK...Coach: DICK ENRIGHT SOUTHERN: GEORGE MALLORY...LOS ANGELES...HALFBACK...Coach: JIM PENDLETON SOUTHERN: CHARLES HERRING..FREMONT...LINEBACKER...Coach: VIRGIL GRANT NORTHERN: LOUIE GOMEZ...BELMONT...QUARTERBACK...Coach: CHUCK BOYDSTUN WESTERN: JOHN GRIFFIN...

Three play ers off the city champion club were named to both offensive and defen sive units. Four additional Gardena stars were named to the second and third-team units. The pride of the Marine League in 1969 was a devastating force on the gridiron. Enright's Raiders wound up the season 11-1 and, but for an opening game lose to Lakewood — a team which came within an eyelash of beating "AAAA" CIF champion Blair in the Southern Cal semi finals, 21}.—19 — ran roughshod over city league and playoff opponents alike. Gardena's playoff wins came against Belmont (ij.0-12), Taft (3U-—6) Los Angeles (28-16) and Roosevelt In the finals (37-20). For having coached Gardena to the city title, coach Dick En right will be recipient of the coaches "Silver Tumbler" award. Greg Hudson will receive the Helms medallion as MVP in city football for 1969....with both awards being made at the annual gridiron awards pro gram to be held early in January....at a time yet to be determined. * -tt *

Johnny led Hollywood High School to the league title with a perfect 5-0 record. The Sheiks wound up the year with a 7-2 over-all mark, losing to San Fernando in the playoff's 1st round, 5 1 -21;. Nine of coach Blrnbaum's athletes found their way onto the top offensive and defensive unite and Hollywood's "toe" Fred Lima was a first-team selection also. Verdugo Hills, the loop's other entry in the playoffs, could not get past the first round either, as Taft whipped 'em 28-6. All players named for all-star team honors will be presented with Helms Athletic Foundation scroll awards, as they have been since the Helms Board began its selections back in 1937- All selections made by the Helms Board are on file at Helms Hall and available for research purposes in the Foundation Library.
