Spartan standout Garrett is league MVP

D’Antonio Jerome, Mt. Diablo

De La Salle football’s all-around senior star Shamar Garrett and Berean Christian’s four-time winner Ava Miller earned league most valuable player awards as the fall sports season concluded.

Ryan Parker of Northgate was named Diablo Athletic League Valley Division outstanding goalie and then helped his Bronco team to the championship in the North Coast Section Division II playoffs. Northgate also reached the finals of the Northern California Regionals.

Madelyn Gamble was East Bay Athletic League golf MVP and she paced her Cougar team to the Northern California tournament. She earned an individual place in the State tournament by taking third at NorCal and then followed up with a fourth-place showing at State.

Garrett was the versatile star for the Spartans, who are in their 14th straight State Bowl Game this Saturday night. Garrett split his time between runningback on offense, defensive back and the No. 1 kick returner as needed.

Miller finished her four-year league Valley Division record with a 58-0 singles record, taking the singles league tournament title every year.
