Eaton was just as much a threat with his legs as his arm, rushing for 799 yards and 11 touchdowns with a 6.3 yards-per-carry average.

RB: Drake Johnson (jr., 6-0, 200), Pioneer: Johnson’s speed, athleticism and versatility made him dangerous everywhere on the field.

WR: Mason Borders (sr., 6-4, 175), Chelsea: Borders caught 32 passes for 755 yards and eight touchdowns, accounting for more than half of his team’s receiving yards and exactly half of its receiving touchdowns.

OL: Dontrelle Lemon (sr. 6-3, 255), Lincoln: A big, bruising blocker with excellent technique and strength, Lemon was a first team All-SEC White selection. “Just a big, strong, hard-working kid,” said Lincoln coach Chris Westfall.

OL: Dylan Neff (sr., 6-1, 280), Manchester: Kept sophomore quarterback Nate Bossory’s blind side protected from the left tackle spot as he threw for more than 2,400 yards.

DB: Reilly Quigley (sr., 5-8, 160), Pioneer: Pioneer’s Mr. Everything, Quigley played at nearly every position but was primarily a defensive back with the speed to keep up with the best wide outs in the state and power to help at the line against the run.

LB: Dallas Hartsell (jr., 6-1, 175), Father Gabriel Richard: Hartsell was Gabriel Richard’s leading tackler with 101 on the season, including four tackles for loss. He would have had gaudier numbers, but he was often confined to the sidelines during the second half of many lopsided victories. Was a Division 5-6 All-State special mention.

DL: William Meadows (sr., 6-0, 220), Willow Run: Led the Flyers with 91 tackles, eight sacks, two interceptions and three fumble recoveries.

DL: Ray Zielinski (sr., 5-8, 215), Chelsea: A disruptive force from the nose tackle position, Zielinski’s numbers - 33 tackles, three fumble recoveries - didn’t match his impact at the line of scrimmage. “The offense always had to commit a double team to him, and that really opened things up for our (line)backers,” said Chelsea coach Brad Bush. A first team All-SEC White selection.

P/ATH: Joe Dunn (sr., 6-0, 216), Milan: List him as a punter, use him for everything else. In 28 punts, Dunn had a 44.5 yards per punt average with eight punts over 50 yards with a long of 59. He had 18 punts downed or out of bounds inside the 20-yard-line. Dunn, the team’s leading rusher with 759 yards and 8 touchdowns, was especially effective in fakes, converting 4-of-5. Caught 18 passes for 281 yards and two scores and led the Big Red with 113 tackles, eight for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles. A first team Division 3-4 All-State selection as a punter.

Brian Lemons, Father Gabriel Richard: Coming into the year, Lemons thought his team may be more talented but end up with a worse record because of a tougher schedule. Wrong. The Irish finished 10-2, won their second consecutive Catholic League Prep Bowl and won their first-ever district title.
