McClymonds star is Bay Area News Group’s Alameda County player of the year

OAKLAND — There is no measuring the fight inside McClymonds quarterback Berell Staples.

The 6-foot-2, left-handed gun slinger was the definition of playing until the final whistle.

Though he finished the season throwing for 31 touchdowns and just two interceptions, the stats don’t tell the entire story for Staples.

Whether his team was up by 30 or down late in the fourth quarter, McClymonds could always rely on Staples to keep the Warriors steady, composed and locked into the moment.
