From Cathedral HS to Rodeo Drive? Juniors Shine in LA!
Dewayne "Downtown" Brown capped a terrific junior session last weekend at Los Angeles' Cathedral HS. Brown, the Overall MVP and Leadership Award winner from Kaiser HS, was a terrific wide receiver with great hands that ran great routes. During the 1 on 1's, the 5'8.5 150 lb Brown made some impressive gabs over bigger players, as his athleticism was first in class. Brown had a 31.5 inch vertical, 9'0 broad jump, ran a 4.35 shuttle, 4.56 40 and hustled from start to finish. With far too many star athletes full of themselves, hopefully players like Brown can show how to carry success humbly.
Adam Judnich (La Quinta) took home the Combine King award after showing he has Lebron James like athleticism. The 5'7.5 148 lb Judnich had a 35.5 inch vertical, 10'6 broad jump, ran a 4.41 shuttle and 4.42 40. Whether it is a football game or slam dunk contest, Judnich is pure excitement.
Blake Anderson (Don Lugo) battled with the d-linemen during the 1 on 1's and had great success in creating frustrations for his counterparts on the other side of the ball. The 5'9.5 242 lb Anderson was aggressive, strong as an ox (he bench pressed 185 lbs 36 times to take home the Strongest Man award), had quick hands and moved well. Anderson took home the OL MVP and captured plenty of attention as well.
Evan Hukko (Mayfair) was a hulking figure at QB. The 6'3.5 186 didn't necessarily have the mass that typically goes along with the term "hulking", but his gargantuan abilities helped him win the QB MVP. Hukko had unprecedented smarts for a 17 year old, making more smart passes than one would expect from a high schooler. He had a good arm, good feet and a future brighter than a Los Angeles summer.
Jens Jeters (Simi Valley) and Ejiro Ederaine (Santiago) shared the LB MVP award. Both were outstanding athletes for LB's, did a great job of covering the ball and had a great understanding of the game. They both battled their tails off and gave it everything they had, making it far too difficult to pick just one for MVP.
Los Angeles continues to be a hot region for the NUC and the talent is seemingly unlimited.
