Raleek Brown Raleek Brown 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB Mater Dei | 2022 State CA : Brown was the undisputed player of the game on offense. The senior rushed for 162 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. He didn’t have gaudy numbers but he extended plays by breaking tackles. Brown can make a big play out of nothing. He is nearly impossible to defend because of the way he can cut on a dime and beat anyone in the open field. He is the closest running back I’ve seen to Reggie Bush at the high school level. He is committed to Oklahoma but with the news of Lincoln Riley going to USC, that might change.

Brandon Baker Brandon Baker 6'5" | 290 lbs | OL Mater Dei | 2024 State CA : Mater Dei’s offensive line features two elite sophomores and Baker played outstanding in the championship game. He got to the next level on double teams and got a push on the Servite defensive linemen like I haven’t seen before. He is a great athlete for his size and can be used in multiple schemes in the running game. The future of Mater Dei’s offensive line is in great hands.

CJ Williams CJ Williams 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Mater Dei | 2022 State CA : Williams didn’t have his best game with only 54 yards on three catches with a touchdown, but he impacted the game in other ways. He blocked well down the field which propelled Brown to some big runs. He drew a pass interference penalty and had the touchdown that iced the game.

Jack Laphen: Laphen was another outstanding offensive lineman for the Monarchs. He drives his legs through contact well and got some big pushes on Servite’s interior defensive linemen. He got to the next level and made solid contact. The first game against Servite wasn’t his best but he was very effective in the title game. He pass blocks well too and showed a little mean streak with his strikes and arm strength.

SERVITE
Tetairoa McMillan Tetairoa McMillan 6'4" | 185 lbs | WR Servite | 2022 State CA : Mater Dei did a nice job shutting down Servite’s offense as a whole, but McMillan made some plays in the first half. On every third down conversion for the Friars it seemed like it was a pass to McMillan. He scored the opening touchdown of the game. He is one of the best receivers in the nation and had an incredible career at Servite.

Vaka Hansen Vaka Hansen 6'2" | 305 lbs | DL St. John Bosco | 2023 State CA : Hansen was the best offensive lineman of the game for Servite in this game in my opinion. He held his own in the passing game and was able to keep his body in front of defenders in the run game while playing both ways. Mason Graham Mason Graham 6'2" | 295 lbs | DL Servite | 2022 State CA played well as usual but he had a tougher task than Hansen which resulted in some sacks allowed.
Noah Fifita Noah Fifita 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Servite | 2022 State CA : Noah wasn’t his best in this game but if Servite had any other quarterback the game would have been even more lopsided. He made some plays with his legs in the first half and converted a big third down with a run on the opening drive of the game. He had one interception on a deep ball which was essentially a punt. He seemed a little banged up but he was accurate down the field, Mater Dei’s defense just gave Servite nothing. Fifita had an incredible career at Servite.
TOUCHDOWN SERVITE❕💫
