State champions De La Salle (Concord) and Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa
Margarita), along with Southern Section Northern Division champion
Westlake (Westlake Village), combine to place 12 players on the MaxPreps
Division I California All-State Team, including the Player of the Year.
Michael
Barton is the Player of the Year after leading a De La Salle defense
that
shut out an undefeated Westlake team 35-0 in the CIF Open Division Bowl Game and allowed only 59 points over the final 11 games of the
season.
A Cal recruit, Barton was named the Player of the Year in
the San Francisco Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle. According to Spartan
defensive coordinator Terry Eidson, Barton ranks among the best ever at
the school, including NFL linebacker D.J. Williams and college standout
Kevin Simon.

"He just has such a great motor and anticipates so
well," Eidson told the Chronicle. "He hardly made a bad read all season.
He was all over the field. He will excel and get the most of what he's
got."
Barton
edged out Santa Margarita quarterback Johnny Stanton, who led his team
to the
Division I bowl championship over Bellarmine (San Jose) and
Westlake quarterback Justin Moore, whose team fell to De La Salle in the
Open Division bowl game.
De La Salle lands three on the team with offensive lineman Luc Hamilton and defensive back
Josh Jenkins joining Barton. Santa Margarita had four and Westlake had five apiece.
The
MaxPreps Division I All-State Team consists of players who competed in
the section enrollment divisions the CIF designated as qualifiers to the
Division I state bowl game.
