With a dozen all-Golden Coast Conference awards, the Reedley College Tiger football team is ready for it's first postseason game since 2009 this Saturday afternoon in Reedley.

The Pacific-7 Conference champion DeAnza College Dons (9-1) will face the 10-0 Tigers at 2  pm Saturday at Reedley High's Sal Gonzalez Field.

"We are really excited to get to compete against DeAnza College again," said Golden Coast Conference Coach of the year Eric Marty of the Tigers. "They have had a tremendous year, and we know first-hand.

Reedley is used to facing great passers as they went up against the state leader in Isaiah Arriola-Randalle at Hartnell. They gave up 450 yards in the air in the Tigers' 46-34 win.

After finishing second in the state (66 schools) in rushing touchdowns, sixth in passing touchdowns and ninth in passing yards, Randall R. Johnson was named the Golden Coast Conference Offensive Player of the year and all-GCC quarterback.

Joining Johnson on the all-conference team were running back Jamon Chambers (Tacoma WA) tight end Daniel Baca (Monache, Porterville) and linemen Zack Kadri (Lynnwood, WA) and Joshua Reba (Edison, Fresno). Chambers and Baca are freshmen and the rest are sophomores.

IN), sophomore linebacker Jaylin Talbot (Louisville, KY) and defensive backs freshman James Day (Los Angeles) and sophomore Raul Montalvo (Kerman).
