Carson Diehl, a sophomore defensive back and receiver, was named to the All-Eastern League First Team on both defense and offense in 2023 honors revealed by La Jolla head coach Tyler Roach.
On offense, Jett Thomas, Hank Hansen, and the younger Diehl were named to the First Team in addition to quarterback Jackson Diehl (see separate story).
Evan Martin, a punter/kicker who served as a Viking senior co-captain, was named the Eastern League Special Teams Player of the Year.
On defense, Sawyer Moseley and Wyatt Boczanowski were selectees, along with Carson Diehl.
The most remarkable news is that Carson Diehl was named to both the offensive and defensive honorary teams, because he broke onto the scene in 2023 as a 10th-grader, having played JV football last year. He led the county in interceptions, with eight.
He also was an effective and clutch receiver for the Vikings. His brother connected with him 46 times on the season, for 693 yards and nine touchdowns, as La Jolla swept the Eastern League with a 5-0 record and reached the Division 2 Finals in the CIF playoffs, finishing with a 10-3 record.
