Twelve local players and one coach were recently selected to the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s 2022 All-State football team.
Four players made the first team – Gadsden City senior Ryan Wood at offensive line and Gadsden City senior Gabriel Brito at punter in Class 6A and Coosa Christian senior Jy Mostella at running back and Coosa Christian sophomore Clete O’Bryant at linebacker in Class 1A.
A 6-5, 290-pound senior, Wood did not allow a sack this season while averaging five pancake blocks per game. Brito punted 38 times for 1611 yards and a 42.2 average. He also was 9-for-11 in field goals with a long of 46. The duo helped the Titans notched their first winning season and playoff berth in six years and the program’s first region title since 2014. Mostella (pictured above) spearheaded the Conqueror offense with 2,174 yards and 30 touchdowns on 262 carries. O’Bryant finished with a team high 147 tackles along with three sacks and three interceptions.
Making the second team were Gadsden City junior safety DeAndre Kirkpatrick, Ashville senior punter Greyson Simpson and West End freshman safety Jaxon Hamby.
Kirkpatrick had 73 tackles and three interceptions while patrolling the GCHS secondary. A three-way starter at kicker, punter and safety Simpson finished was 6-for-9 on field goals with a long of 48 yards and 16-for18 on extra points, averaged 40 yards per punt and had 72 tackles, two interceptions and three pass break-ups at safety. As the top ballhawk in the Patriots’ secondary, Hamby came up with five interceptions along with 65 tackles.
Earning honorable mention recogniton were Southside junior quarterback Gauge NeSmith in Class 5A, Etowah senior quarterback Trace Thompson in 4A, Gaston sophomore tackle Nehemiah Samples and West End junior linebacker Josh Carroll in 2A and Coosa Christian senior defensive end Drake Albury in 1A.
NeSmith was 134 for 232 in passing for 2,096 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 628 yards and nine scores, while Thompson completed 234 of 406 passes for 2,584 yards and 35 touchdowns. The 6-1, 300-pound Samples opened many a hole for a pair of 1,000 rushers while finishing with 54 pancake blocks. Carroll led the Patriots in tackles with 152 tackles, including 14 for a loss, and 10 quarterback hurries. Albury terrorized opposing offensive backs with 105 tackles, including 27 for a loss, and nine sacks.
Coosa Christian’s Mark O’Bryant was named Class 1A Coach of the Year after guiding the Conquerors to a 7-5 record and a berth in the state semifinals. It was Coosa’s first winning record and playoff berth in four years. It was also the program’s first-ever AHSAA playoff victory.
