HS FOOTBALL: By the numbers
Four of the area's seniors with the best offensive statistics - running backs De'Jon Coleman of Arleta, Kawan Rally of El Camino Real and Zander Anding of Burroughs and receiver Jake Maulhardt of Camarillo -- all lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Coleman set a City Section single-season record with 47 touchdowns by scoring once in a 21-18 loss at Birmingham. He finished with 2,029 yards on 163 carries - a remarkable 12.4 average -and it's interesting to note his 27 attempts at Birmingham marked the first time Coleman has carried more than 20 times in a game.
Rally ran for 204 yards in a 55-17 loss at Crenshaw, as the three-year starter rushed for 2,384 yards this season and fell 12 yards shy of 5,000 for his career, finishing with 4,988 including 1,510 as a junior and 1,094 as a sophomore. Rally scored 32 touchdowns for a career total of 68. He also had eight 200-yard performances this season and 11 over the past 15 games dating back to last year.
Anding rushed for 224 yards and a 66-yard touchdown in a 37-29 loss to visiting Los Altos at Glendale High, ending one of the most productive seasons for a large-school back in area history. In 10 games, Anding totaled 2,692 yards and 31 touchdowns, including four consecutive 300-yard games and a total of eight performances of 222 yards or more.
Maulhardt had 10 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown in a 54-28 loss to visiting San Luis Obispo, finishing with 119 receptions - three shy of Thousand Oaks' Richard Mullaney's state-record of 122 last season.
