Comments from the coaches:

#39- Taku Diamond had a nose for the football and flew around the field all season. The Linebacker led the STATE in total tackles for the season at 130 at the JUCO level.

#3- Hiro Diamond was a student of the game all season. His study technique and ball skills helped him be in the right place, making the right reads on his way to 5 INTs for the season.

#23- Houstyn "Heuy" Lee-Perry rushed for 723 yards during his freshman campaign. Good for the Top Mark within the last 10 years at Gavilan College. Totaling 942 All-Purpose yards. Looking forward his progress in the weightroom, on the field, and in the classroom.

#65- Joe Escalante managed the right side of the Offensive Line as the Right Tackle. Helped lead the way for our Running Game. Being his first season of Football since his Junior Year, Joe showed determination to get better every day.

#92- James Mamaiapili was a consistent anchor to the defensive line, often in the opponents backfield or chasing down the ball carrier. James showed that grittiness and resiliency take you far in football!

#6- Ja'Roi "Roi" Hardwick traded in the Arizona heat for the California Weather on his way to a productive session. Roi came to practice, ready to work, and got better each week. His determination to succeed is something to watch moving into his Sophomore Campaign.

#11- Dei'Maujea "Maujea" Moore followed his fellow teammates Roi from Arizona. Maujea was one of the most improved Rams this season, ending with 3 INTs and 3.5 TFLs on the season.
