Keanu Forbes (12) was honored as the team’s Most Valuable Player. He played twelve different positions this season, including starting quarterback. Keanu had over 1,750 all purpose yards on offense, 825 passing yards with five touchdowns, 800 rushing yards with seven touchdowns, 28 yards receiving and 126 yards in kickoff and punt returns.

Sidhart Krishnamurti (12) was the recipient of the Coaches Leadership Award.

“As a four year starter on both offense and defense, Sid unselfishly set the standard every day in the classroom, in the community, on the practice field and in the game,” said Forbes. Sidhart has 22 total tackles on defense, two interceptions, 13 offensive receptions for 214 yards, and two touchdowns.

Allen Huang (12) received the Deron Thorp Award for the second time in his high school career.

“Allen’s commitment to the Harker football program is unparalleled,” Forbes said. “He is also the only male athlete to win the Iron Eagle Award more than once, which is also a testament to his year round commitment to football.”

The offensive Most Valuable Players are Christian Williams (12) and Nate Kelly (9). Christian led the team with 28 receptions, 510 yards and five touchdown catches. Nate scored six rushing touchdowns, two touchdown catches, along with over 1,000 all-purpose yards this season.

James Pauli (9) and Johnathon Keller (11) are the defensive Most Valuable Players. James had 49 tackles, eight solo tackles, a quarterback sack, a forced fumble and interception. Johnathon lead the defensive team with four interceptions, seven pass breakups and a defensive score off a fumble recovery.
