Spicer also just qualified for the CIF finals in the shot with a heaver of 61-07.5. The two that placed ahead of him were seniors.

“At this time Averill is looking at every college that has offered him and how he would fit into their programs,” Averill Spicer, Sr., Spicer’s Dad said. “I would say Averill will narrow down his schools to eight sometime during the summer.”

Even though he had to fight through double teams, Spicer led his team in sacks with 14. He also racked up 60 tackles in 2003.

Spicer’s junior season performance saw him selected all-state underclassman, all-area and all-league.
