Bee’s Best: Meet The Sacramento Bee’s 2023 All-Metro Football Team and Players of the Year
Ryder Lyons was the starting quarterback for the Folsom High School freshman team in 2022, then got a taste of the varsity big stage in the playoffs.
His varsity debut included a direct-snap play, a big gain against storied De La Salle, and then he was rocked. He lost the ball but not his sense of what it takes to achieve. The kid has done pretty much all of the rocking ever since.
An incomparably gritty and gifted sophomore, Lyons was the focal point for the best team in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section and the top outfit in the CIF state Division 1-A ranks this season. He willed and drove the Bulldogs to championship heights and capped a magical season by earning Sacramento Bee 2023 All-Metro Player of the Year honors.
Moments after firing the winning touchdown pass in the closing seconds to cap the season with a spirited 20-14 comeback over St. Bonaventure of Ventura to win the state championship in Orange County, there was Lyons in his element. He complimented teammates and coaches. He also grumbled a bit that he should have played better and that he will return next season an older, wiser, stronger version.
“I can always play better, be better, and I’ll always work hard to be the best I can be,” Lyons said.
No one doubts him there.
A 4.0 student, Lyons passed for 3,578 yards and 38 touchdowns. He also rushed for 929 yards and 23 scores for a team that went 13-2 and ended the year on a 10-game winning streak. The losses were by a touchdown each to powerhouse programs De La Salle of Concord and Serra of San Mateo.
Lyons flustered defenses with his remarkable footwork to extend plays, and he passed with touch and with laser shots. He would run the ball on designed plays with power at a still-growing 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds. Folsom coaches had to remind them that it was OK to run out of bounds and not take on all comers. Lyons received scholarship offers from all across the country with two seasons yet to play, including from USC and coach Lincoln Riley after engineering a home section playoff win over Inderkum.
In the last three games of the season, Lyons accounted for 11 of his team’s 12 touchdowns, using his arm or legs. In five playoff contests, Lyons accounted for 16 scores, nine passing and seven rushing.
“The moment never felt too big for us or for me,” Lyons said.
Said Folsom coach Paul Doherty: “Hands down the best player in the section. He delivered the most success and significant victories over the toughest opponents on the toughest schedule in Northern California. He accounted for 90% of Folsom’s scoring production. The kid wants to be great. Works hard, and he’ll only get better.”
Lyons has always found a way. As a youth soccer player years ago, he didn’t sweat it when he piled out of the family car and realized he had forgotten his game cleats.
“Maybe no one will notice,” he tried to explain to his parents.
Everyone is on notice now. Lyons is just warming up.
Grant’s Parker ran with fury
Wayshawn Parker of Grant is The Bee’s Offensive Player of the Year after helping to power the Pacers back to a CIF state final with the old-school values of running the ball.
The 5-10, 185-pound Washington State-bound senior rushed for 2,055 yards in 13 games and scored 25 touchdowns. He wore the prized jersey No. 1 for Grant, for decades given to the Pacers player who best exemplifies the team’s grit and resolve.
“Special player, just an incredible talent,” Grant coach Carl Reed said.
Parker’s nickname is “Bobo” from his youth when he was a heavy kid. He shed the weight and continued to do the heavy lifting.
“I just love to run the ball and play this sport,” he said.
Parker rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown in his final prep game, a 21-19 loss to La Serna of Whittier in the CIF state Division 2-AA final. He graduated early from Grant and will soon be enrolled at WSU.
Tuiileila led Grant defense
Jeremiah Tuiileila of Grant is The Bee’s Defensive Player of the Year, a junior rush end who dominated by regularly getting into the opponent’s backfield. He had a section-leading 23 sacks, recorded 130 tackles and had 40 stops for a loss for a team that went 12-3, repeated as section Division III champions and won another Northern California championship.
The 6-2, 235-pound Tuiileila had eight tackles, two for loss, in the state finals. He is a fine student who expects his college recruiting profile to soar.
“The guy can really play, a dominant player,” Reed said. “Colleges will find out. The dude can play.”
Pinnick show lit up the SFL
The Del Oro Golden Eagles didn’t win every game, certainly, but opponents knew Caden Pinnick was there. The 6-0, 175-pound senior quarterback is The Bee’s Large School Player of the Year for his ability to buckle defenses with his arm, legs and cool calm.
He passed for 2,946 yards and 30 touchdowns while rushing for 489 yards and nine scores for a Golden Eagles team that went 8-5 and was not an easy out in a powerhouse Sierra Foothill League featuring Folsom, Oak Ridge, Rocklin and Granite Bay.
Pinnick was inspired by his role model and cousin, Stone Smartt, Del Oro’s quarterback leader for CIF state teams in 2015 and 2016 who now plays tight end for the Los Angeles Chargers. Pinnick passed for 330 yards and two scores and ran for two more to engineer a 40-34 triple-overtime victory at Jesuit.
Pinnick is a 3.8 student and a three-sport star who implores others to do as much as they can while they can.
“I take my role seriously,” Pinnick said at midseason. “Stone tells me to stay focused and have fun.”
Pinnick is still weighing his college options.
Vista went Long to record heights
In the 16-year history of Vista del Lago, a campus that still sparkles in Folsom hills, the best football player in program history just finished up. It’s Matt Long, the versatile, skilled, tough and determined Air Force-bound 6-foot, 200-pound senior.
What was it he could not do? The Bee’s Medium School Player of the Year caught 55 passes for 971 yards and 16 touchdowns, ran for three scores and came up with five interceptions on defense for a team that went 10-2 and won the Capital Athletic League championship.
“Matt’s a special breed,” Vista del Lago coach Kyle Landes said. “He’s Matt Long because he’s Matt Long. You would not know who he is on campus. He’s humble and unassuming.”
Except for on the field. Long was fast enough to beat defenses and he was strong enough to blow right through tacklers on his way to the end zone.
Crawford powered Twelve Bridges
Senior running back Nathan Crawford was the lead Raging Rhino for a school so new in Placer County that it has yet to graduate its first senior class. That happens in the spring, and there may be some extra applause for Crawford, The Bee’s Small School Player of the Year.
He was the Big Man on Campus at Twelve Bridges, not because of ego but for reputation and results. Raging Rhino football fast became a thing on campus, the sport to watch, in large part because of Crawford, the crafty, shifty and explosive leader who rushed for 1,977 yards and 39 touchdowns for a 12-1 team that thundered through the Pioneer Valley League and reached the section Division V championship.
Outside of pads, the 5-10, 185-pound Crawford was all good manners.
“He’s a regular dude who happens to be really freaking good at football,” Twelve Bridges coach Chris Bean said. “I would buy a ticket to watch Nathan Crawford play.”
Crawford rarely talked about his own efforts, but he did admit that breaking off a big gainer “feels surreal, like an out-of-body experience.”
Crawford is still undecided where he will attend college, though he plans to keep playing football.
Sanchez fueled 15-0 Woodland Christian
Woodland Christian of Yolo County had just a handful of seniors, but one of them was the engine that made it all work.
That was 5-11, 180-pound quarterback Gabe Sanchez, who played hurt and inspired in doing his part to engineer a CIF state championship march that ended with a 15-0 season and recognition as one of just two unbeaten team in the state at any level, a credit to leaders like Sanchez and coach Michael Pashcke. Colusa went 14-0.
Sanchez, The Bee’s Smallest School Player of the Year, passed for 1,557 yards and 25 touchdowns, and he rushed for 492 and five scores. He had a touchdown pass to help beat Banning of Wilmington 23-13 in the CIF state Division 5-A finals at El Camino College in Torrance, and he led a lot of the celebration cheers afterward.
“Heart and soul of our team,” Paschke said. “We don’t get this far without Gabe Sanchez.”
Sanchez is undecided on where he will attend college. He wants to continue football.
Horner willed Casa Roble to the top
Football games in Orangevale are a festive event, in large part because of the relentless good cheer of Casa Roble coach Chris Horner, The Bee’s Coach of the Year.
A product of the San Juan Unified School District from his San Juan High days some 30 years ago, Horner is big on involvement, which is why he found time to coach the school’s first girls flag football team. He pushed his Rams hard and loved them up just as much, and it resulted in a 12-2 season that included a stirring 23-22 victory over Twelve Bridges in the section Division V finals at Hughes Stadium.
The game was won late when Horner elected to go for two points on the point-after conversion. The Rams delivered when Connor Campbell hit Ethan Horner in the end zone, setting off a celebration. Ethan happens to be the coach’s son, though the play wasn’t really designed for him. The kid got open.
It was a big moment for Casa Roble, for Orangevale, for the district and for the Horner family.
“It’s a big day for the Orangevalians,” Horner said after the title win. “Here’s the thing: When we’re good at football, man, this city is freaking nutty professor, and we’re good at football right now.”

A player had to be a first-team all-league selection to be considered for All-Metro unless he had an exceptional playoff run. Players not on these lists were not nominated.
