Six out of The Messenger’s 10 area coverage high schools placed players on the Alabama Sports Writers Association 2016 All-State football teams.
Gadsden City, Hokes Bluff and Etowah each had two players make the first team, while West End had one.
Eight local players were second team selections and six student-athletes received honorable mention recognition.
Making the Class 7A first team for the Titans were senior running back Damon Williams and senior defensive lineman Damian Thompson, both of whom were instrumental in helping Gadsden City win six straight games and make it to the state semifinal round following a 1-5 start. Williams finished the year with 1,139 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He also caught nine passes for 122 yards and one score. Thompson led the team in tackles with 88, including 10 for a loss. He also had four sacks. In addition, head coach Matt Scott was named 7A Coach of the Year. In was the second time in three seasons that Scott guided GCHS to the state semifinals.
Selected to the Class 4A first team from the Eagles were freshman running back Darrian Meads and senior linebacker Fisher Simmons. Hokes Bluff recovered from a rough start to reach the semifinal round for the first time since the 2004 season. After losing their first three games, the Eagles went on a 9-1 tear that featured their first victory in three years over county rival Glencoe and three straight postseason wins. Meads was the team’s bell cow, rushing for 1,839 yards and 18 touchdowns on 311 carries. Simmons was the coverage areas leading tackler by a wide margin with 191 stops. Hokes Bluff head coach Mike Robertson was named 4A Coach of the Year.
Senior center Peyton Nance and senior receiver Andy Noles were the Blue Devils’ first-teamers in Class 5A. After opening the season with a loss to Southside, Etowah reeled off eight straight wins and won its first playoff game in five years. A three-year starter at center, Nance held the fort when several of his teammates on the offensive line missed time due to injuries. He graded out over 90 percent in each game, had 88 pancake blocks and allowed only two sacks. A two-year starter at quarterback, Noles switched to receiver this season after Daulton Hyatt transferred in from Arab. Noles wound up catching 38 of Hyatt’s passes for 743 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Class 2A first teamer Andre Little was the driving force behind West End’s first postseason appearance in six years and the Patriots’ first playoff victory since the 2001 season. The senior receiver was the area’s top wideout with 62 receptions for 1,323 yards and 16 touchdowns while leading the team in tackles with 90, 16 for a loss. He also returned 15 kickoffs for 680 yards and a touchdown.
Making the all-state second team were Gadsden City senior offensive lineman Quaddrick Rice, Southside senior running back Alaric Williams in Class 6A, Etowah senior quarterback Daulton Hyatt, Etowah sophomore receiver Emil Smith, Hokes Bluff senior offensive lineman Adam Patterson, West End sophomore defensive lineman Michael Patton and Westbrook Christian junior defensive back Caeden Godfrey and Westbrook Christian junior linebacker Court Coley in Class 2A.
Despite missing significant time with injuries, Auburn University commitment Williams led the Panthers in rushing with 902 yards and 15 touchdowns. A University of Arkansas commitment, Hyatt passed for 2,207 yards and 25 touchdowns with only five interceptions along with a 65 percent passing percentage. He also rushed for 410 yards and five touchdowns. Smith led the Blue Devils in receptions with 40 and caught seven TDs. Patton had 75 tackles (20 for a loss), 12 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
In the honorable mention category, Gadsden City junior dual-threat back Jaelyn Fleming rushed for 702 yards and caught 19 passes for 419 yards with a combined 10 touchdowns. Etowah junior kicker Raul Hernandez was 91 percent on extra points (52-for-57) and was 3-for-5 in field goal with a long of 45 yards.
West End had four players make the HM squad. Joining junior offensive lineman DeWayne Miller were junior quarterback Payne Stancil (2,421 passing yards, 31 touchdowns), senior running back Jordan Malin (1,240 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns) and senior linebacker Junior Tomas (67 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries).
