Dashon Hunt
has been earning a lot of headlines lately, especially following his
team's 49-42 victory in the Southern Section Northern Division finals over Oaks Christian when he scored five touchdowns. Hunt has
averaged more than 10 yards per carry as Westlake's game-breaking back.
But
Hunt (5-9, 175) was offered a scholarship by UCLA, which he accepted,
as a cornerback. He's recorded a team-high six interceptions, and last week he returned one for a touchdown.
In
Saturday's premier Open Division game against De La Salle, his most
important duty will be trying to contain
Anthony Williams,
who has been De La Salle's best big-play offensive threat, especially in big
or close games. The 6-foot, 185-pound Williams, the brother of former NFL receiver Demetrius Williams, has 38 catches for 921
yards and 10 touchdowns. He's also a tremendous defensive back and will
be trying to slow down Hunt on the other side of the ball.
