Four Sea Kings first-team All-PCL
Corona del Mar High senior twin brothers Matt and Kris Cooper are
among four Sea King football players named first-team All-Pacific
Coast League by the circuit’s coaches.
Matt Cooper, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound fullback, was selected
primarily for his blocking, joining senior teammate John Daley, a
versatile lineman, on the first-team offense.
Kris Cooper, a 6-2, 215-pound senior outside linebacker, who will
continue his career along with his brother next fall at Georgetown,
is joined on the first-team defense by senior safety K.C. Rawlins.
Matt Cooper and Daley were second-team all-league honorees as
juniors.
Representing CdM on this year’s second team are senior defensive
lineman Jayson Skalla, senior inside linebackers Jason Kidushim and
Matt Warsaw, junior cornerback Mordy Ornguze, junior offensive tackle
Andy Lujan and sophomore wide receiver Kevin Welch.
Skalla was a first-team all-league selection as a junior.
Senior quarterbacks Kyle Harper (Northwood) and Terry Mermer
(Calvary Chapel) share Offensive MVP honors, while Northwood safety
Brian Fairbanks is the Defensive MVP after helping the Timberwolves
post their second straight 5-0 league record.
