It was a stellar season for Cerritos College sophomore running back Elijhaa Penny (Norwalk HS/College of the Sequoias), who capped off his year by being named 1st team All-American, as well as 1st Team All-California Region IV. Penny, who was also voted the Northern Conference Offensive Player of the Year, finished the year rushing for 1,338 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Joining Penny on the All-California Region IV Team were sophomore center Robert Chism (Downey HS) and sophomore defensive tackle David Moala (Serra HS), who were both unanimous all-conference selections.

The rushing total by Penny was the second most in a single-season behind the school record 1,527 yards gained by Darrell Thompson in 1991. The 20 rushing touchdowns is also a single-season school record, while he also added a receiving touchdown. In a win over Palomar College, Penny ran for 262 yards, which is also the second most in a game behind Jermaine Whiten's 308 yards in 2002 against College of the Canyons.

Chism (pictured at center) helped open the holes for Penny to run through, as the Falcons rushed for 2,235 yards and added 2,164 yards through the air. At the conclusion of the football season, Chism competed on the wrestling team and earned All-American honors at 285 pound when he came in fourth place at the CCCAA State Championships. In his first competition of the year, he placed fourth at the Southern California Championships.

Moala, who was a pre-season All-American, was an All-State and all-conference selection as a freshman. He finished the year second on the team with 55 tackles, eight tackles for loss, seven quarterback hurries, four quarterback sacks, two forced fumbles, along with an interception, fumble recovery and pass breakup. He was named the team's MVP at the Western State Bowl when he recorded eight tackles, two tackles for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery, a sack and interception.
