ALL-AMERICAN GUY: Mountain View High graduate Mickey Clements finished his senior year of football at St. Mary's College by being named an All-American Division 1-AA tight end. He was voted team captain this season, and the Gael coaches once again bestowed upon him the Bill Fisher Award, the school's highest honor for leadership and character. The team won all 15 home games Clements started since his sophomore year, including victories over Midwest and Eastern schools and first-time triumphs over UC-Davis and Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo.
