Three missed games at the beginning of the season didn’t make a difference — Juanita High’s Salvon Ahmed was named the Class 3A KingCo Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season in a Nov. 7 vote by conference football coaches.

Ahmed rushed for 13 touchdowns and more than 1,200 yards during his senior season, leading the Rebels to a conference title and a home game for the first round of the postseason.

Ahmed was also named a first-team all-conference running back and first-team corner, as well as a first-team kick returner.

Juanita coach Lele Te’o won Coach of the Year honors, winning the conference after a 1-3 start to the season.

Juanita’s Sebastian Garcia was one of two sophomores voted to the all-conference lists, offensive or defensive, as a first-team guard.

Juanita senior Christian Blackburn was picked as a first-team defensive end and second-team tight end. Senior Dean Sise also won multiple awards, as a first-team linebacker and second-team wide receiver.

Juanita junior John Nascimento was named a first-team defensive tackle/nose tackle.

Rebel second-team honors included senior Gavin Vodapich at offensive tackle, senior Trevor Williams at defensive end, senior Keiran Jones at inside linebacker and senior Tanner Peterson at safety.

Juanita’s honorable-mention players were receiver Sam Rice, quarterback JD Worcester, lineman Romey Sasouvong and lineman Charlie Kullman.

Lake Washington had one player on the all-conference first-team — junior tackle Will Pliska.

Junior receiver Domonic Roussell made the all-conference second-team, along with senior linebacker Rudy Wilkes and junior corner Cody Wilson.

Lake Washington senior quarterback Adam Long, senior tight end/defensive end Sean Gordon, linebacker Caleb Rickels and junior running back Ryan Clifford made the honorable-mention list.

Interlake’s Naoki Harmer won the defensive MVP award. Bellevue senior Zach England won the Lineman of the Year honor, and Redmond’s Bill Laveroni was named the Assistant Coach of the Year.
