Long Beach City College sophomore corner back Kiante Goudeau (Edison HS) was named the Southern California Football Association (SCFA) Central League Defensive Player of the Week after an impressive game against LA Harbor on Saturday.

Trailing 21-13 to Harbor, Goudeau came up with the big plays when the Vikings needed them most. Goudeau had a pair of returns for touchdowns to spark a third-quarter LBCC rally to beat the Seahawks 32-27.

With Harbor driving, Goudeau picked off Clark Livingston's pass and ran it back 51 yards for a touchdown. Moments later on the Seahawks next drive, sophomore Mat Boesen (West Torrance HS) forced a fumble on Livingston that was scooped up by Goudeau and ran back 48 yards for a second defensive touchdown that put the Vikings back out in front 26-21 with 4:50 to play in the third.

Goudeau added a second interception to halt another Harbor drive and ended his night with four tackles. 

Goudeau is the fourth Viking to earn Central League Player of the Week honors this season.
