Is this the year of the sophomore?
Palma has six in its starting lineup, including 6-foot-6 Noah Allen - who goes both ways -- and 6-foot-5 Jack Powers, one of the area's top linebackers.
Carmel has five sophomores seeing significant time, including tailback Garrett McGuire, who has two 100 plus yard rushing efforts.
Joseph Jakubowky has over 400 receiving yards on 21 catches for Seaside, while Pacific Grove is a different team with quarterback Kyle Czaplak behind center.
One tandem worth watching over the next two falls is Alvarez quarterback Michael Turner and receiver Deandre Sheppard.
John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.

Just an FYI: Jack Powers is a defensive lineman in the 4-4 (alongside fellow sophomore Hidelv Manzur), not a linebacker (going to be a good player though - as will all the sophs). Seniors Robert Foy and Blair Gardiner lead the Palma linebacking corp, alongside juniors Ryan Sarmiento, Nick Ruiz and Jack Myers. Palma has 7 sophomores playing on varsity, not 6.
