FC trio earns All-Ohio Div. VII first team

COLUMBUS — Seven players from Firelands Conference rivals Monroeville and St. Paul earned All-Ohio recognition on the first, second, and third teams in Division VII. The Ohio Prep Sports Media Association announced the teams at noon on Monday. Monroeville senior interior lineman Brycen Dunlap earned a spot on the first team after anchoring the Eagles on both sides of the football. Dunlap was the Northwest District Co-Lineman of the Year, and the Offensive and Defensive Lineman of the year in the FC for the Eagles (9-3, 7-0). The 6-foot-2, 275-pound standout at guard helped a Monroeville offense that averaged 337 yards and 34 points per game. He added 45 tackles and three sacks on defense. Junior defensive lineman Alec Schafer (42 tackles, four sacks) was a second-team choice for the Eagles, who won the FC outright for the first time since 2002. Junior quarterback Colt Clark was third team for Monroeville. He was 81-of-154 passing for 1,234 yards and 17 touchdowns and also ran 135 times for 1,027 yards and 15 TDs on the ground. "We are really proud to have five players earn all-state honors," Monroeville head coach Tylor Nester said. "Each of them represents the standard of work ethic, toughness, and character that defines our program. "Their success is the result of hours of work in the offseason, and the support of their teammates, coaches, families, and our community," he added. "It's a tremendous achievement, and we are grateful to see their commitment recognized at the state level." For St. Paul (5-6, 4-3), senior receiver Landon Fries was a repeat selection to the first team after a season that saw him earn first team FC honors at three different positions. As a receiver, he caught 40 passes for 580 yards with 5 TDs. Fries also ran for 454 yards and 10 TDs, and is believed to be the lone player in program history to finish his career with more than 1,000 yards receiving and rushing. Junior FC Defensive Back of the Year Rafael Gross was also first team at linebacker for the Flyers. Gross finished with 134 tackles (13 for loss) with two sacks and a forced fumble in 11 games. Junior kicker Nate Griffin, who was 3-of-4 on field goals — including a game-winner in the final seconds at Tiffin Calvert on Sept. 5 — was second team. He was also 41-of-45 on extra points for the Flyers. St. Paul junior defensive back Levi Rospert (54 tackles, 4 INTs, 2 FRs, 9 PBUs) was third team. "I'm very happy for those four because the recognition is a testament to their performance during the season, which is directly related to the work ethic they put in during the offseason," St. Paul head coach Chris Doughty said. "All four are multi-sport kids, which shows the importance of being a well-rounded athlete." Honorable mention selections from the area included Monroeville senior running back Connor Bores (927 yards, 13 TDs) and junior linebacker Cooper Cleary (83 tackles, 2 INTs). South Central senior offensive tackle Alex Hamons was also honorable mention. ----------------------------- OPSMA Division VII All-Ohio football teams First Team Offense QB: Kyle Puckett, McDonald, 6-1, 180, sr.; Kael Lewis, Jeromesville Hillsdale, 6-2, 185, jr.; Eric Manley Jr., Pike Eastern, 6-6, 230, sr.; Turner Lachey, Sidney Lehman Catholic, 5-10, 170, sr.; Charlie Werling, St. Henry, 6-2, 210, sr.; Marc Kirkendall, Leipsic, 5-11, 172, so.; Andon Clouse, Sycamore Mohawk, 6-1, 295, jr.RB: Cyren Wallace, Danville, 5-7, 150, so.; Ezekiel Bowie, Columbus Crusaders, 5-8, 180, sr.; Conner Lehner, Mogadore, 5-10, 205, sr.; Owen Sloan, Jeromesville Hillsdale, 5-10, 195, sr.; Ashton Hinchliffe, Lisbon David Anderson, 6-1, 205, sr.; Drew Zajack, McDonald, 6-3, 230, sr.; Kaden Bish, Sycamore Mohawk, 5-11, 195, jr.WR/TE: Yomar Castellano, Fairport Harbor Fairport Harding, 5-7, 165, jr.; TJ Blair, Fairfield Christian, 5-9, 175, sr.; Boston Webb, Pike Eastern, 6-2, 165, jr.; Evan O'Leary, Sidney Lehman Catholic, 5-10, 185, sr.; Cale Nagel, Maria Stein Marion Local, 5-7, 150, sr.; Cooper Clark, North Baltimore, 6-0, 180, sr.; Avery Paris, Leipsic, 5-10, 161, jr.; Landon Fries, Norwalk St. Paul, 5-11, 170, sr.OL: Caden Delabar, Lancaster Fisher Catholic, 6-1, 216, sr.; Carter DeJulia, Warren JFK, 6-4, 275, jr.; Brewer Tomlison, Pike Eastern, 6-2, 295, sr.; Lucas Donahue, Cincinnati Country Day, 6-2, 280, sr.; Derek Grieshop, Maria Stein Marion Local, 6-4, 255, sr.; Brycen Dunlap, Monroeville, 6-2, 275, sr.; Jake Schweiterman, St. Henry, 6-2, 230, sr.; Eli Chevalier, Sycamore Mohawk, 6-5, 275, sr.K: AJ Brown, Jeromesville Hillsdale, 5-10, 140, sr.
