GALT, CA (MPG) - The Sierra Valley Conference has announced its 2025 All-League Football team, with Liberty Ranch junior Andrew Quinn earning Most Valuable Player honors after leading the Hawks to a perfect 7-0 league record and dethroning defending champion Bradshaw Christian. Quinn’s dominance on both sides of the ball made him the clear choice for the league’s top individual honor.

Quinn was a two-way phenom throughout the season, terrorizing opponents with his explosive rushing ability on offense while anchoring the Hawks’ defense with his relentless pursuit and playmaking skills. His versatility and impact in all three phases of the game set him apart as the most complete player in the conference, making him a nightmare for opposing coaches to game plan against.

Head Coach Warren Schroeder was named SVC Coach of the Year by his fellow coaches. Schroeder’s honor recognizes his masterful job in guiding Liberty Ranch to an undefeated league championship while toppling Bradshaw Christian, a program that had established itself as the conference’s gold standard. The Hawks’ perfect season required strategic brilliance, player development and the ability to keep his team focused and motivated through the pressure of being the hunted rather than the hunter.

Liberty Ranch’s dominance was reflected in the All-League selections, as the Hawks placed seven players on the team: the most of any program in the conference. Senior DeShawn Jackson was the lone senior representative, providing veteran leadership and playmaking ability that proved crucial in the Hawks’ championship run. Jackson’s selection caps a stellar high school career and recognizes his contributions to one of the most successful seasons in program history.

The future looks bright for Liberty Ranch, as five juniors joined Quinn and Jackson on the All-League team. Cutler Perez, Daniel Swearingen, Joe Lara, Ryan Ogas and Soni Takafea all earned recognition for their outstanding performances throughout the season. This young core, combined with Quinn’s return for his senior season, positions the Hawks as favorites to defend their championship in 2026.

Cross-town rival Galt High School earned one All-League selection, with senior Anthony Harrison representing the Warriors. Harrison’s selection recognizes his individual excellence and leadership throughout the season. Despite Galt’s challenging year, Harrison consistently performed at a high level, earning the respect of coaches across the conference.

Harrison’s honor provides a bright spot for the Warriors and demonstrates that individual talent can shine even in difficult team circumstances. His selection to the All-League team caps his high school career on a positive note and serves as an example for younger Galt players of the standard required to earn conference recognition.

The All-League selection process involves nominations and voting by coaches throughout the SVC, making it a true peer recognition of excellence. Liberty Ranch’s seven selections reflect not just individual talent, but a program-wide commitment to excellence that produced a championship season.

As Liberty Ranch celebrates its perfect league record, Coach of the Year honor for Schroeder, and seven All-League selections including Quinn’s MVP award, the foundation has been laid for sustained success. With five juniors returning and a culture of winning established, the Hawks will enter 2026 as the team to beat in the SVC.
