PAGMETER FOOTBALL ALL CENTRAL SECTION ALL STAR TEAM 2022

PAGMETER TEAM OF THE YEAR
LIBERTY PATRIOTS

There was no question that in 2021 the No 1 team was the Liberty Patriots. In 2022 the Patriots had some holes to fill and they sure did fill them. The Patriots played with a target on their back in every game and their only real loss was from a team who had a 5 star QB. The Patriots are the back to back Central Section Champions and Division 1-State Champions finishing at 13-2.

PAGMETER SMALL SCHOOL TEAMS OF THE YEAR
SHAFTER GENERALS

Soon there should be a 30 for 30 special on these young Shafter Generals known as the Cardiac Kids. The Generals won their first section championship since 1955. The Generals had so many tremendous comeback wins down the stretch. In the quarterfinals of the playoffs, the Generals trailed No 1 Liberty Madera 13-7 with 34 seconds to go when freshman QB Ezekiel Osborne threw a perfect 50-yard strike to freshman Mariyon Sloan and the Generals won. in the semifinals beating Torres 42-41 in overtime with another comeback win and in the Championship game, you guessed it, the Generals trailed Caruthers and had another story book comeback.

PAGMETER PLAYER OF THE YEAR
BRANDON RAMIREZ-Senior-MEMORIAL PANTHERS

Brando will go down as one of the best to ever play at Memorial. The Panthers rode Brando like he was the great Secretariat and the offensive game plan was to run Ramirez on almost every play down the stretch and it almost worked. Ramirez was a force on both sides of the ball. The Cal-Hi All State All Star rushed 1,967 yards and scored 31 TDs. On defense, Brando was stellar as well with 83 tackles and the next stop will be playing at Fresno State and the Bulldogs need to put Brando at Running back. Brando would be dangerous in the Bulldogs spread offense who has the speed to run by you, great hands and also run you over.

PAGMETER BEST TWO-WAY PLAYER OF THE YEAR
JAEDEN MOORE-Senior-CENTRAL VALLEY CHRISTIAN CAVALIERS

The most dominant player the Central Section has had in awhile. On defense, Jaeden was unblockable from the edge and most teams ran the other way.
