Junior Leofa

School: Los Amigos High

Sport: Football

Position: Fullback/linebacker

Class: Junior

As the only sophomore on the Los Amigos varsity last season, Leofa led the Lobos in tackles from his middle linebacker position. So no one was surprised that he had two sacks and assisted on five tackles Thursday in Los Amigos’ 34-20 opening-game victory over Estancia. But it was on offense that Leofa made the biggest splash: amassing 207 total yards and scoring all five of Los Amigos’ touchdowns. Leofa handled the ball 11 times (six rushes for 91 yards, five receptions for 116 yards). Leofa, who is 5 feet 7, 170 pounds and has lifted 280 pounds in the bench press, gets his yards with a combination of quickness and strength. Last spring, he won his weight class in a Garden Grove League weightlifting competition. Thursday, he scored on runs of one, 10, 53 and 11 yards and ran a screen pass from quarterback Ape Tuato 75 yards for a touchdown.
