Julian Gener '11, who now plays for the Mt. San Antonio Mounties, received the "Most Outstanding Defense Player" at the 2011 California Community College Football State Championship Game. 

Excerpt from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune ~
Julian Gener, who was defensive player of the game, came up big to recharge the Mounties. Gener, with Mt. Sac trailing 28-7 late in the second quarter, jumped in front of a Baty pass in the backfield and returned it 45 yards to cut the deficit to 28-14 at halftime.
