6. Three-headed defensive monster
De La Salle (Concord) has had tremendous linebackers in its storied history. D.J. Williams is having an All-Pro season with the Denver Broncos. Kevin Simon was an All-American at Tennessee. Terrance Kelly was likely destined for the NFL before he was murdered in 2004.

De La Salle Defensive Coordinator Terry Eidson thinks his current group – Cal-bound Michael Barton and junior standouts Michael Hutchings (6-1, 203) and David Moffitt (6-2, 200) – might eventually be his most talented trio. They are fast, strong and relentless. Throw in Austin Hooper, a 6-4, 233-pound junior defensive end, and this is definitely one of De La Salle's best and most dynamic defenses. The Spartans give up a scant 8.5 points a game, but will be going against a very potent Westlake attack that averages more than six touchdowns per game.
