Posted by SJSdude on 8/31/2007, 7:39 am The Eagles have plenty of playmakers, but Coach Ed Buller said the key to success will be the offensive line, where Huck is the veteran leader. His size, strength and footwork, combined with a mean streak, have caught the eyes of Pacific-10 Conference recruiters. Last season Alonso led the Wildcats with 143 tackles. His speed and athleticism are drawing interest from Pac-10 schools such as Oregon, which has offered a scholarship. He should have a bigger role in the passing game on offense. Soft hands, speed and a non-stop motor make Miller perhaps the best two-way threat in the county. His physical play on defense may be even more important for a Mitty team hoping to make a playoff run. He has made an early oral commitment to Cal. Sr. | RB | 5-7 | 180 After leading the section last year with 2,054 yards and 30 touchdowns, Gardiner is even stronger and faster this season. He has great vision and cutback ability, but his amazing balance and breakaway speed make him one of the county's most thrilling backs. The blue-collar back led the Wildcats with 1,294 yards rushing and scored 14 touchdowns last season. Last season's junior of the year in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division has a hard-hitting style that makes him an impact player on defense. The senior missed most of last season after transferring from a Stockton school, but his impressive performance at the Stanford Nike Camp this summer has made him one of the most sought-after prospects in Northern California. The Mercury News sophomore of the year led the state in tackles with 220 and recorded 11 sacks while helping the Trojans win their first CCS title in school history. Bigger, faster and stronger than ever, Fanua plays with energy and intelligence. Sr. | OL/NG | 6-4 | 300 Ranked as the top recruit in the county by Scout.com., Feagai had 63 tackles and eight sacks last year, while providing protection in the Pirates' spread offense. He had 63 tackles and eight sacks, and he ran the 40-yard dash in an impressive 5.0 seconds in summer camp. Scott had his breakout performance in the state championship game against Orange Lutheran, snagging 10 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. An outstanding basketball player and track star, Scott is the county's best all-around athlete. Sr. | WR/DB | 6-2 | 185 Henderson suffered a broken rib last season and missed three games, but he still showed big-play ability with 39 catches for 822 yards and seven touchdowns. Henderson is drawing interest with his blazing 4.45 speed. He was named MVP of receivers at the Stanford Nike Camp.
