Goleman, Krop stars lead GMAC All-League Team

With the two teams having met in the championship game for the second year in a row, it only figured that Goleman and Krop would lead the way when the 12-team GMAC Independent League (voted on by the coaches) released its AllLeague Team.

Quarterback Jose Hernandez and running back Jamaal Joseph led the way for Goleman, and two-way star Davin Derival was the headliner for Krop as the Gators and Lightning combined to put 10 players (five each) on the team.

Hernandez threw for 859 yards while tossing 14 touchdown passes against just two interceptions; Joseph pounded out 1,124 rushing yards and scored 15 touchdowns to lead Goleman to an 8-0 record and 33-26 victory over Krop in the championship game.

Not that there was a league MVP but if there were, Derival would have been the leading candidate. He played wide receiver on offense and cornerback on defense for the Lightning, and he was the team’s kicker and punter.

He finished with 35 receptions for 875 yards and 10 touchdowns as a receiver and 325 rushing yards and five touchdowns rushing as well. On defense he racked up 22 tackles and two interceptions, including a 100-yard pick-six.

As the team’s placekicker, he made four of five field goals with 25 touchbacks on kickoffs and, for good measure, averaged 44 yards as a punter.
