Henjum was the game’s MVP with over 130 yards receiving and two touchdowns. He has plus speed and knows how to use his size and strength to shield defenders in man coverage. Henjum would be a late steal for a team needing a quality receiver.
The entire offensive line for the South played very well but Norton was a standout along with his teammate Cody Going Cody Going 6’3″ | 285 lbs | OL Mission Viejo | 2023 State CA . He was particularly great in run blocking and getting to the next level.
Benedix only played in three games his senior year and came back from an injury too soon. He was healthy for the all star game and the coaches raved about him in practice. They threw to him a lot on bubble screens and it was fun to see him connect with his quarterback Trey Kukuk Trey Kukuk 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB Capistrano Valley | 2023 State CA one last time.
Adam Harper
Adam Harper
Harper proved he can play with the county’s best and was arguably the best running back in the game. He also threw a beautiful touchdown pass on a trick play. Multiple players that I talked to before the game said they were impressed with Harper.
Riley Weinstein
Riley Weinstein
Saturday was my first time seeing Weinstein in person and I was impressed. He made the best catch of the game on a jump ball in the fourth quarter. He also broke some tackles on tunnel screens and is a solid route runner.

NORTH
Jacob Apodaca
Jacob Apodaca
Apodaca was one of the most dynamic playmakers on the field Saturday. He was able to get open frequently and also made big plays after the catch. He also had the lone touchdown reception of the game for the North.
Chase Grosfeld
Chase Grosfeld
Grosfeld was the MVP for the North squad and it was easy to see why. He was a mismatch when covered by the linebackers of the South team. He made good catches on 50/50 balls and was able to make some plays after the catch. Multiple coaches on the sidelines asked me about Grosfeld and were impressed by him.
Vincent Cabral
Vincent Cabral
Cabral was a Third Team All-County lineman for a solid El Dorado squad this year. I didn’t get the best look at the North offensive line but Cabral made some big blocks that stood out to me. The North was able to move the ball well inside the 20s and the offensive line played pretty well.
