Evans, Wright Are All-City

Emmanuel Evans of Birmingham High and Quincy Wright of El Camino Real, who both rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season, were selected to the All-City football team.

For the first time, selections were made by a representative coach from each of the six conferences and a first and second team was selected. In previous years, All-City teams were split into 3-A and 4-A divisions and were selected by area sportswriters.

Quarterback Steve Alvarado, linebacker Tyler Brennan and safety Sedric Hurns were selected from Taft, which lost to San Pedro in the 4-A title game for the second consecutive year.

Sylmar, which lost to Taft in the semifinals, placed wide receiver Shaun Avalos and offensive lineman Ray Solis on the squad.

Other selections from the region include offensive lineman Steve Nevarez of San Fernando, running back Vinny Walker of Monroe, linebacker Carlos Gomez of Canoga Park, defensive lineman Armand Seals of Kennedy and defensive back Ryan Martinez of Chatsworth.

Running back Holmon Wiggins of San Pedro was selected player of the year.

Second-team selections included running back Marquis Brignac, offensive lineman Carlos Meza and linebacker David Melo of Taft.

Also on the second unit are defensive back Corey Neal and linebacker Joey LaPorte of Sylmar, quarterback Scott Doherty and linebacker Bobby Davis of Birmingham and kicker Ramiro Esqueda and tight end Matt Garnas of Kennedy.

Others from the region on the second team are punter Gus Schuster of Grant, tight end Mike Shoemaker of Canoga Park, offensive lineman Will Carrillo of Van Nuys, linebacker Demond Daniels of El Camino Real and defensive back Sean Atkins of San Fernando.
