Star-Times football
Posted by Tom Wyrwich
I'll end with the team we pick last: football. As you might imagine, choosing 25 football players out of the thousands that play on Friday nights in the area isn't easy. We have several choices at each position, and often times, the discussions get heated. But we came out with a team that at least I think represented the best we had in the area this season:
(College commitments in parentheses)
OFFENSE
Ryan Robertson, quarterback, Sr., Eastlake
Demitrius Bronson, running back, Sr., Kentwood (UW)
Tony Heard, running back, Jr., Edmonds-Woodway
Johri Fogerson, running back, Sr., O'Dea
Cory Mackay, wide receiver, Sr., Eastlake (UW)
Gino Simone, wide reciever, Jr., Skyline
David DeCastro, offensive lineman, Sr., Bellevue (Stanford)
Drew Schaefer, offensive lineman, Sr., Eastlake (UW)
Alameda Ta'amu, offensive lineman, Sr., Rainier Beach
Senio Kelemente, offensive lineman, Sr., Evergreen (UW)
Le'Roi Edwards, offensive lineman, Sr., Kentridge
Antoinne Wafer, all-purpose, Sr., Edmonds-Woodway
Curtis Stensland, kicker, Sr., Newport
DEFENSE

Justin Mann, defensive lineman, Sr., Woodinville
Everrette Thompson, defensive lineman, Sr., Kennedy
Trevor Guyton, defensive lineman, Sr., Redmond (Cal)
Derek Jones, linebacker, Sr., Snohomish (Wash. St -- baseball)
Cory Burk, linebacker, Sr., Bothell
Johnny Wilson, linebacker, Sr., Kent-Meridian
Brandon Turner, defensive back, Sr., Kentridge
Justin Glenn, defensive back, Sr., Kamiak (UW)

Its good to see that Coach Hoover Hopkins from Nathan Hale is getting the recognition that he deserves for the amazing work that he has done with the program and what he walked into.

I agree with Cosmodave about Pula, he actually took the words right from my mouth! Pula was a MONSTER in the middle, and our team had a much tougher time with him than with Wilson. Wilson is a great athlete, but like Cosmodave said, Pula is a FREAK.

What planet are you from? The best defense in the state in 3a and they don't even get a name on your defensive team? You choices speak to trying to please a readership throughout your papers distribution and to the real defensive leaders in the game. Show some guts and tell us what you really think, not what your editor says you need to write to "not offend" our subscribers!

That is not fair that Paul Ena (Jr Linebacker) of inglemoor high school is not in the star times. In the voting for kingco all conference Ena beat our Burk by a big margin of votes. Just because he took a couple kicks back and is a cinderella story doesn't mean that he should get all star times.

i have a quibble about the football all times team and it is at linebacker- i am an spsl guy and i have to say that andrew pulu the junior from federal way is leaps and bounds better than johnny wilson. and wilson is a good player, but pulu is a freak. i think that he may project as a d-end, but he is 6-3 245 middle linebacker who is an absolute stud.
