Quote from San Diego Union Tribune announcing All Star County Team. Dec 2007

Taylor Crabtree, Rancho Buena Vista
"There was no steadier setter in the area this year. Crabtree never missed a beat for the Longhorns and continued to be a critical senior leader on a feisty playoff team. On a CIF championship team, Crabtree would be an All-CIF selection."
