Defensive Player of the Year: Long Beach Poly DB Iman Marshall
As a starting point, if you haven't seen Marshall's performance against Corona Centennial's Barry Ware Sept. 13, check that tape. Former Long Beach Poly head coach Raul Lara said he'd never seen anything like that before. Ware, currently being courted by a number of Pac-12 schools, was limited to zero catches against Marshall. Ware shouldn't fret, he wasn't the only one Marshall gave a hard time to. The junior cornerback didn't allow a catch all season until the quarterfinals against St. Bonaventure when Lavan Alston made a short, two-yard grab. -- the season was 12-weeks-old and Poly's season ended a week later. Dominant may not do Marshall's 2013 season justice.
DL Malik McMorris, Mater Dei Jr.
6-foot, 280 pounds and can move. Led Monarchs with 10 sacks, eight hurries, and three fumble recoveries.
DL Jason Fao, Long Beach Poly, Sr.

LB Chandler Leniu, St. John Bosco, Sr.
The leader of arguably the top defense in the state posted 205 tackles.
LB Olajuwon Tucker, Serra, Sr.
Arguably the MVP of the Cavs stout defensive attack led team with 117 tackles, 25 TFL, and 12 sacks.
DB Jonathan Lockett, Mater Dei, Sr.
Lockett Island had 0 INT in the regular season. Opposing QBs tried to test him in the postseason and he picked off three passes helping Monarchs earn to a second straight CIF final berth.

Big, physical, can run, and hit.
DB Naijiel Hale, St. John Bosco, Sr.
Not many highlights unless you're into watching an entire half of a field get shutdown.
