These next are awards that are voted on by the coaches around the state. It starts with getting selected to the All-Region Team by your local coaches in your region, then if a player is selected to the All-Region Team they then become eligible to be selected by the state coaches who have voting rights to select the All-State Team for each division. This year we had 2 players earn such post season honors… BRYCE FERMAN and TYLER FILINGER
With his All-Region win, this next player, achieved the highest honor one can receive as an individual athlete playing in high school sports. Today we add TYLER FILINGER to that special group of players on our ALL-STATE wall in the hallway.
Congratulation to all the players and coaches for an amazing 2022 season.
