James Hurst doesn't toil in anonymity
Posted Dec 10, 2009
Not many offensive linemen get loads of attention. Then again, not many football players are like Plainfield's James Hurst. So it's no surprise the 6-5, 290-pound senior -- a top-10 national recruit (according to Rivals.com) who has committed to play at the University of North Carolina in 2010 -- is the 2009 All-West Player of the Year, beating out Monrovia senior slot back Austin Parks (1,862 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns) for the honor.
