Kellen Roberts and Marcellous Gossett capped outstanding senior seasons as Dos Pueblos football players by being named the Offensive and Defense MVPs in the Channel League.
Nate Mendoza and his DP coaching staff was recognized by its league peers as the “Staff of the Year.” The Chargers defeated defending champion Ventura in the final game of the regular season to win a share of the league title. The team went 9-3 for the season and reached the CIF-Southern Section Division 10 quarterfinals.
Roberts ran DP’s up-tempo offense. He passed for 3,193 yards and 27 touchdowns and rushed for 233 yards on 65 carries. He set school records for pass completion (263) and attempts (399).
Gossett was a beast as a defensive end, terrorizing quarterbacks all season long. He recorded 17.5 sacks and 36 tackles for loss, both school records. He also scored two touchdowns on fumble recoveries, had two tackles for safeties, blocked two field goals and two extra-point kicks.
