The illustrious high school career of incoming USC wide receiver Robert Woods just got more celebrated.
Woods, who starred in football and track at Serra High in Gardena, has been named the 2009-10 Cal-Hi Sports State Boys Athlete of the Year.
He's the first Trojan to win that accolade since current NFL star wideout Steve Smith, who was honored in 2002-03 out of Woodland Hills' Taft High for his football, basketball and track exploits.
Woods becomes the ninth Trojan to win the award since it was first presented in 1930-31.
Other Trojans who have been the State Boys Athlete of the Year: Bill Sharman (football, basketball, baseball at Porterville HS) in 1943-44, Dennis Ralston (tennis at Bakersfield HS) in 1959-60, Paul Wilson (track at Downey's Warren HS) in 1964-65, Anthony Davis (football, baseball at San Fernando HS) in 1970-71, George Porter (basketball, track at Lompoc's Cabrillo HS) in 1984-85, Rob Johnson (football, basketball, baseball at El Toro HS) in 1990-91 and Chris Claiborne (football, basketball at Riverside's J.W. North HS) in 1995-96.
