1lJ~:"~;~~P~~s~he Year in';'AAAAIt division football for 1969 asSouthern California sports journalists met at Helms Hall to

make their annual all-star football team selections. Since 1937,members of the southland press have gathered tn select the top-highsehool grid stars and in turn honor them for their collective grid­iron exploits. The 1969 season was a banner year, as records weretoppled right and left.

McAlister and running mate Kermit Johnson rolled up over 4,000yards between them 1n rushing offense for the season••• a remarkableand unmatched feat in the southland. McAlister's total of 2,168 yardsis third best in local history, with his carerr mark (4,367 yards)second only to Mickey CUreton's 4,920 yards.

The 6-foot-one, 200-pound fullback scored 31 touchdowns overthe season and a total of 228 points, third best 1n CIF history. GlennDavis set the record of 236 in 1942 and then Centennial's MickeyCureton set the current mark of 240 in 1966.

The Foothill League champions charged through their divisionalplayoff chores, whipping Bishop Amat in the finale 28-27 ••• and moreimpressively than the score indicated. In the three earlier playoffencounters the Vikings murdered Hueneme 62-0 ••• ran away fram SantaMonica 44-19 and sneaked past Lakewood 24-19, before doing in theAngelus League co-champion Lancers. It is interesting to note thatcoach Pete Yoder, who d~cted the title-winning Vikings, also quarter­backed Downey High to the CIF title back 1n 1957. Coach Pete was anAII-ClF first-team pick that year.

No less impressive over the past season were Patric~ Haden andJohn McKay••• a tandem which fractured passing and receiving marks forrunner-up "AAAAn playoff entrant Bishop Arnat. Only juniors, both McKayand Haden thrilled followers all season long. Over the full seasonPatrick threw 317 t~es, completing 211 for 3,015 yards ••• the latterfigure a new ClF mark. Johnny McKay, son of the Trojan coach, was noless a figure in Amat's great season. He caught 106 passes during theyear to set a record and recorded over 1,500 yards in the process.

As expected both Blair and Bishop Amat led all schools in put­ting players on the all-star teams. Blair placed five men•••• four onthe first temm•••• while Arnat had four, with three first-teamers.

Just two players -- McAlister and Anaheim QB George Fraser -­are back fram last year's all-star te&ms.

GREG HUDSON 9 ROOS~VBLT HIGH PASS RECEIVING~ND~_ NAiVISD L.A. CITY PLAY~R OF YBAR FOR '69

FOR RELEASE: WEDNESDAY PMs •• ~DEC.· 24TH· and Tllur·sdaya';m;~} .~ *DO NOT RELEASE PRIOR TO DEC. 24TH p.m.

~abUl0US~~~;-;~~hJ~ McLe~~Roosevelt High School Roughriders, was named Los Angeles CityFootball "Player of the Yearn for the 1969 season, as members

of the Helms Athletic Foundation's All-Los Angeles City Board of Foot­ball met at Helms Hall to make their annual all-star team selections.

Hudson, 6-toot, l75-pound wingman for the Eastern League champswhich went to the finals of the L.A. City playoff before losing toMarine Loop title holder Gardena (37-20), had a phenomenal year in1969. Double and triple-teamed all year long, the two-time all-citypick caught 48 passes for 1,159 yards and 12 touchdowns during theyear. He ran two punts back over 90 yards for TOs in the South Gategame and intercepted eight passes on defense.

Coach Jim McLean makes no secret of the fact that Hudson hasmeant everything to his team over the past two seasons. The Rough­riders won the Eastern Loop crown last year as Gre~ Hudson was voteda co-Player of the Year. They got as far as the second round of theplayoffs in '68, beating Van Nuys, but losing to Manual Arts. Thisyear Roosevelt whipped Carson (48-22), San Fernando (22-12) and Reseda(26-24) before losing in the finals, 37-20, to Gardena. In each ofthe above listed ball games Hudson had fine ball games, save the lastone ••• when Gardena cut him off by surrounding him with defenders.

This marks the third year that All-Los Angeles City Board ofFootball has selected offensive and defensive units. In 1967 twoteams were picked on both offense and defense, while last year theboard began selecting three units for each.

Kickers were named to both first and second units in 1969 se­lections••• Gardena's Glenn Walker and Los Angeles' He~an Morales be­ing the "toes" selected.

Along with Hudson, named to the second offensive unit in '68,three other -·ci ty players repeated. Bill Kramer of Poly again made thefirst defensive unit, while Rick Ho1oubek (Wilson) and Jim Fenwick(Cleveland), named to the 2nd defensive team this year were 3rd teamdefenders in '68.

As expected, Dick Enright's city champion Gardena Mohicans ranoff with individual honors in the 1969 all-star selections. Three play­ers off the city champion club were named to both offensive and defen­sive units. Four additional Gardena stars were named to the secondand third-team units•

., The pride of the Marine League in 1969 was a devastating forceon the gridiron. Enright's Raiders wound up the season 11-1 and, butfor an opening game lose to Lakewood -- a team which came within aneyelash of beating "AAAA u ClF champion Blair in the Southern Cal semi­finals, 24-19 -- ran roughshod over city league and playoff opponentsalike.

Gardena's playoff wins came against Belmont (40-12), Taft (34-6)Los Angeles (28-16) and Roosevelt in the finals (37-20).

For having coached Gardena to the city title, coach Dick En­right will be recipient of the coaches "Silver Tumbler" award. GregHUdson will receive the Helms medallion as MVP in city football for1969••••wi th both awards being made at the annual gridi,ron awards pro­gram to be held early in January•••• at a time yet to be determined.
