Division IV All-Ohio teams released

Eight players from the Sandusky Bay Conference earned spots on the first, second or third teams on the Division IV All-Ohio list, released Tuesday by the Ohio Prep Sports Media Association. State runners-up Perkins — the SBC Lake Division champions — had four players on the first team. That quartet included running back Isaac Bunts (2,388 yards, 32 touchdowns); receiver Braylon Collier (84 catches, 1,423 yards, 25 TDs); defensive lineman Haiden Bollini (74 tackles, 4 sacks); and linebacker Mikey Young (71 tackles, 3 INTs). Quarterback Sam Schweinfurth, offensive lineman Eli Sanchez and defensive back Joey Diederich were honorable mention for the Pirates (14-2). For Clyde (8-4), offensive lineman Brady Dukeshire was second team, as was defensive back Kam Shortridge (26 tackles, 7 INTs). Receiver Brayden Olson was honorable mention. Vermilion punter Aaron Mathis (37.1 average) was a second team choice, while linebacker Cohen Mooney (95 tackles) was third team. Honorable mention choices included offensive lineman Chad Ellis and defensive lineman Beau Benesh. Vermilion head coach Bill DiFucci was one of three state Coach of the Year selections for Div. IV. The Vermilion graduate saw his teams finish 0-10 and 3-9 in his first two seasons; then the Sailors improved to 9-3 this season and won the program's first-ever playoff game before falling to Perkins in the second round. It was the first winning season at Vermilion since 2008. After the Sailors made the state playoffs in 1997, they had just two winning seasons prior to 2024. Ontario quarterback Bodpegn Miller and Gnadenhutten Indian Valley running back Grady Kinsey shared Offensive Player of the Year honors. Both players were also Mr. Football finalists, while Miller is an Ohio State commit and Kinsey has an offer from Toledo. Defensive Player of the Year honors went to Cleveland Glenville linebacker Cincere Johnson and Cincinnati Taft defensive lineman Drayden Pavey. Johnson has multiple Div. I offers, and Pavey is committed to Wisconsin. _____________________ OPSMA All-Ohio Football TeamsDIVISION IVOffensive Players of the Year: Bodpegn Miller, Ontario; Grady Kinsey, Gnadenhutten Indian ValleyDefensive Players of the Year: Cincere Johnson, Cleveland Glenville; Drayden Pavey, Cincinnati TaftCoaches of the Year: Desean Washington, Cleveland Heights Lutheran East; Bill DiFucci, Vermilion; Matt Lancaster, Gnadenhutten Indian Valley FIRST TEAM OFFENSEQB: Chase Ebert, Caledonia River Valley, 6-1, 195, sr.; Bodpegn Miller, Ontario, 6-4, 190, sr.; Brayden DeVito, Shelby, 5-11, 175, jr.; Jeremiah Thomas, Beloit West Branch, 5-10, 160, jr.; Cohen Klimak, Streetsboro, 5-9, 175, sr.; Walter Moses, Perry, 6-4, 190, sr.RB: Connor Corbett, Heath, 5-7, 180, sr.; Isaac Bunts, Sandusky Perkins, 5-9, 205, sr.; Grady Kinsey, Gnadenhutten Indian Valley, 5-9, 200, jr.; Devin Braham, Struthers, 5-11, 190, sr.; Devlan Daniel, Cincinnati Indian Hill, 6-1, 205, so.; Joel Hancock, Cincinnati Wyoming, 5-9, 180, sr.WR/TE: Braylon Collier, Sandusky Perkins, 6-1, 170, sr.; Kaige Boczar, Jefferson Area Jefferson, 5-9, 170, sr.; Aaron McFarland, Cleves Taylor, 6-0, 170, jr.; Bentley Hanson, New Lexington, 5-10, 165, sr.; Brady Bowman, Shelby, 5-9, 150, so.OL: David Striker, Gnadenhutten Indian Valley, 6-0, 260, sr.; Nathan Zappitelli, Mentor Lake Catholic, 6-4, 275, jr.; Marquis Whipple, Cleveland Glenville, 6-3, 290, jr.; Isiah Switzer, Cleveland Glenville, 6-5, 295, sr.; Dakin Johnson, Clarksville Clinton-Massie, 6-3, 255, jr.; Robert Hayes, Cincinnati Indian Hill, 6-5, 285, sr.K: Jon Hewitt, Eaton, 6-3, 178, jr.; Kaleb Wayt, Orrville, 6-0, 160, sr.
