Nine Calvary players, including repeat first-team selections Ethan Sands, James Simon and Abram Wardell, were spotlighted on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 2A All-State Football Team announced Saturday with 12 local standouts cited.
Along with defensive end Sands, running back Simon, and quarterback Wardell, offensive lineman Devin Harper and receiver Kolby Thomas were first-team picks by a 12-member LSWA panel from around the state.
There were seven local honorable mention selections, four from Calvary: Braylun Huglon, Cole Miller, Julius Moss and David Weeks. Also on the HM list were Courtaveus Dorsey and Keshawn Williams of Green Oaks along with North Caddo’s Marlon Jackson.
Three teams that finished their seasons at the LHSAA Prep Classic claimed top honors.
Elijah Haven of Dunham was selected as the Outstanding Offensive Player, while Outstanding Defensive Player honors went to J.D. Hidalgo of Select Division III champion Catholic High-New Iberia. South Plaquemines coach Lyle Fitte, a former Louisiana Tech player, garnered Coach of the Year honors after leading his team to the Non-Select Division IV title.
