VINCE FERRAGAMO, BANNING QUARTERBACK, IS

NAMED L.A. CITY FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

IT required but brief debate on the part of United Savings Helms Athletic Foundation board members to name Banning High School1s star quarterback as Los Angeles City Football Player of the Year for the 1971 season. The vote was near unanimous, the only other support going to a co-Player of the Year selection of Ferragamo and Carson's Mike I:inlure, #10 led the Colts to the Los Angele3 City Football Championship. Ferragamo and McClure had been named co­ Marine League Players of the Year in voting among Marine Loop coaches. Vinca Ferragamo, a 6-2, 206-pound senior and brother of the Banning head coach Chris Ferragamo, had imposing statistics over the 1971 season. He completed 125 of 211 aerials for 1,979 yards and 20 , adding four more TDs running the hall. He had just under a 60$ completion average. Under Ferragamo's leader­ ship, Banning wound up 4-1 on the season and 7-3 the complete season. Defeat­ ing Crenshaw 2 6 -6 in the playoff's first round, the Pilots dropped a tough 23-22 encounter to Bell in a tie-breaker ending.

Chester Lemon, ooach Virgil Grant's ace defensive hack for the league-champion Fremont Pathfinders, was acclaimed Southern League Player of the Year as annual all­ league selections were released today by United Savings/Helms Athletic Foundation. At 6 feet and 185 pounds, Lemon was a devastating defender for the Pathfinders and was one of four Fremont defensemen who helped their team to a perfect 5-0 loop sea­ son. Dorsey's Dons led the league in placing men on the two units....five on offense and two on defense, with title-winning Fremont and third place finisher Manual Arts landing six players each. Two players repeated off last year's first offensive team, while one is hack from the '70 defensive unit. It was Fremont (5-0), Dorsey (4—1) and Manual Arts (3-2) leading the way through a tough Southern League race, with Los Angeles (2-3), Jefferson (1-4 ) and Washington (0-5) finishing among the also-rans. Both Southern League playoff teams did well in the first round, as champion Fre­ mont disposed of Verdugo Hills 28-7 and Dorsey dumped No. Hollywood 30-6. In the second round, however, Fremont was tripped by Monroe, 15-13, as Carson caught Dorsey, 21-6.
