Selection of Cureton and Sanchez was made at the Board's 29th annual selection meeting held at Helms Hall recently. Mickey Cureton, who led coach Aaron Wade's Apaches to the Coast League title and into the "AAAA" playoff finals against Mater Dei, had a phenomenal year for a junior performer. In 13 games, Mickey carried the ball 154 times for 1,496 yards and 23 touchdowns. Averaging close to 10 yards per carry, Mickey scored fou r TDs in two games during th e y ear ag a in st Warren and S e rv ite . The l a t t e r game was the first round of the playoffs, which saw Centennial win 41-21. Before bowing to Mater Dei in the finals, 21-0, Centennial took the measure of El Rancho (21-19), and Redlands (25-7). Mickey's season scoring total was 140 points, as he scored two extra points. Pete Sanchez, named along with Mickey Cureton for 1965 grid honors, has no less glowing credentials. Pete guided coach Dick Coury's Mater Dei Monarchs to the Angelus League crown (8-0-1) and then to four straight "AAAA" Playoff wins over Ramona (20-12), Westminster (17-14), Pasadena (28-13) and Centennial (21-0). Coach Coury calls the 6'1", 205-pound QB "The best all-around QB we've bed since ’ John Huarte." Huarte, 1964 Heisman Trophy winner, was CIF P layer o f the Year in I960. Sanchez had a remarkable season in 1965 as he accounted for 1,568 yards in total offense on 662 yards rushing and 906 yards passing. Pete ran 125 times and scored 12 touchdowns. He completed 66 of 130 passes for 906 yards and nine TDs. In the final playoff game against Centennial, Sanchez gained 120 yards on 22 runs and scored twice. He passed 12 times, completing six for 93 yards. Both Sanchez and Cureton w ill be recipients of the Player of the Year Medal Award a t th e 29th annual A ll-Southern C alifo rn ia Board o f F ootball Awards Program to be held at Helms Hall on Saturday morning, January 15 at 10:30 a.m. All players, along with their coaches, w ill be on hand to receive the customary framed scroll awards presented annually by the Helms Board of selection. For having coached his team to the "AAAA" Division title , Dick Coury will be recipient of the traditional Silver Tumbler award recognizing him for his great coaching achievement. All players selected on the 1964 "AAAA" Division teams were seniors, so there are no repeaters on this year's squad. Twenty-seven Southern Section "AAAA" high schools are represented on this year's selections. This season marks the first time that the Helms Board has selected line backers on the honor teams. Two backers are named to each team. Unable to sep arate six outstanding backs on the third team, the Board elected to name an extra backfield performer this year. PAST C .I.F .
