www.yoursun.com Page 17 DE — GEORGE PHILIP VENICE, SENIOR Considered undersized by coaches as an under- classman, Philip hit the weight room and became a relentless rusher o the end at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds. The senior made 99 tackles (18 for loss) with 8.5 sacks, two pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. LB — CONNOR TRIM CHARLOTTE, JUNIOR One of the team's top defenders, Trim was too good to use as just a linebacker. The dynamic junior was also used as a change-of-pace run- ning back ,who was the workhorse at times. He finished with 77 tackles (13 for loss), two sacks, an interception, three pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Oensively, he rushed 99 times for 519 yards and eight touchdowns along with three receptions for 49 yards. LB — MARTIN RAMOS VENICE, SENIOR The Indians' leading tackler for the past two seasons, Ramos recorded 117 tackles (4 for loss) as he helped shut down several star running backs across the state. LB — LOGAN BALLARD VENICE, SENIOR A dangerous playmak- er on defense, Ballard not only had 110 tackles (10 for loss), but also had 2.5 sacks, three interceptions and a fumble recovery. He came up with two pick-sixes this season as he added on to his career record of six intercep- tions returned for a touchdown. LB — DESAVION CASSAWAY VENICE, SENIOR A three-year starting linebacker for the Indians, Cassaway was essential as an outside backer. He recorded 94 tackles (1 for loss) along with four interceptions, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. DB — ELLIOT WASHINGTON II VENICE, JUNIOR A four-star rated recruit with oers to roughly two dozen top college football pro- grams, Washington II was tough to beat this season. The junior wasn't tested often, coming up with four interceptions and four pass breakups along with 58 tackles (2 for loss). His biggest game came in the regional final against a top-rated re- ceiver in Jayden Gibson. Washington II finished with two interceptions, including one where he ripped the ball from Gibson in the end zone. DB — MYLES WESTON VENICE, SENIOR Weston proved himself to be an eective receiv- er — with 33 receptions for 533 yards and four touchdowns as a junior — but was asked to switch to cornerback as a senior. Weston adjusted well, finishing with four interceptions, four pass breakups and 42 tack- les, including a diving interception in the 8A state final. DB — JEREMIAH LEGUERRE NORTH PORT, JUNIOR One of the top playmak- ers in the area, opposing quarterbacks soon learned to throw any- where Laguerre wasn't. The Bobcats do-it-all player opened the season with seven interceptions through four games as the team's free safety while also adding on five pass breakups and 39 tackles before season's end. Laguerre was also used in the rushing and return game at times.
