Over the course of the season at CLA, we have seen our fair share of high school football in the Los Angeles region. After watching countless hours of HS football during camps, 7on7 over the summer and during the season on the sidelines we have come up with our 2012 CLA Fantasy Teams. These are the players who we've interviewed, watched up close and personal and studied film on throughout the year.

Congratulations to those who made the list. We look forward to the remainder of the HS football season and until next season, this is the First Annual CLA Fantasy Team.

Notre Dame Coach Mike Denbrock, the former assistant for Head Coach Brian Kelly during his tenure at Grand Valley State (MI), has an eye for talent. It was Denbrock who got Kelly in contact with Gardena Serra HS Head Coach Scott Altenberg so that he could express his interest in 2014 All-American linebacker Dwight Williams.

"It was pretty much (Mike) Denbrock talking to him (Coach Kelly) about me. He said that I have the character, which is what they need in their program and that I can ball," Dwight told CLA Sports today.

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers host the Santa Monica Vikings Friday night in a Southern Section quarterfinal matchup from the Western division. Both teams enter the contest on a roll, having dominated their first round opponents.

Santa Monica is led by standout receiver and USC commit Sebastian Larue, but the Vikings also possess an effective run game that should present a challenge to the stout Serra defense.

1. Collin Klein QB Kansas State

Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein is still in the lead for the Heisman after leading the Wildcats to a 23-10 road victory over TCU. Klein rushed for two more touchdowns bringing his season total to 19. Klein has thrown 12 touchdowns while completing 70 percent of his pass attempts.

At 10-0 and ranked first in the BCS standings, Optimus Klein has the Wildcats two wins from a berth in the national championship game. If the Wildcats win out, it will be difficult for voters to deny Klein the Heisman.

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers took care of business Thursday night, dominating league foe St. Francis 42-6 behind a stellar defensive performance and three touchdowns from Malik Roberson.

With playmaker Taz Bateman lost for the season with a broken ankle, it was incumbent upon others to step their game up. On this night, it was Malik Roberson that was up to the challenge.

Trailing 3-0, the Cavaliers took the lead on a rushing touchdown by Roberson. The Serra defense held the St. Francis offense out of the end zone all night, yielding only two long field goals. Serra led 14-6 at halftime.

Adoree' Jackson (DB/2014) played well for Gardena Serra in Friday night's loss to nationally ranked Narbonne HS. Jackson's Cavaliers were unable to overcome several mistakes on the offensive side of the ball, and fell to the Gauchos 22-9.

Jackson was spotted on the field wearing a pair of USC Trojans football gloves that he used to snatch several Jalen Greene (QB/2014) passes. Adoree' made contributions for the Cavaliers on offense, defense and special teams. "The Trojans are a good team, they stick out to me a lot," Jackson told College Level Athletes after the game.
