Twenty local athletes were recently named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s 2017 All-State high school football teams.
Three players were selected to the first team, 14 to the second team and three to the honorable mention team.
Making the first team for the second straight year in Class 4A was Hokes Bluff’ Darrian Meads. The sophomore running back ran 299 times for 2,036 yards (a 157-yard average per game) and 27 touchdowns while helping the Eagles go 10-3 and reach the state quarterfinals for the second year in a row.
Etowah junior linebacker Jarren Wright was picked for the Class 5A first team after finishing with a team-high 140 tackles, including six for a loss. He helped the Blue Devils go 11-2, win the program’s first region title in six years and qualify for the state quarterfinals for the first time since 1999.
Class 2A first team selection Court Coley had a team-high 114 tackles – 31 for a loss – along with two fumble recoveries for Westbrook Christian. The senior linebacker helped the Class 2A Warriors rebound from an 0-3 start to a five-game winning streak that resulted in the program’s first state playoff berth in five years.
Gadsden City senior kicker Jonathan Kilgo made the Class 7A second team as a punter after putting together a standout season as both punter and kicker for the Titans. He averaged 50.9 yards on 32 punts, including a state record 92-yarder, while making 7-of-10 field goal attempts and 24-of-27 extra points.
Making the Class 5A second team from Etowah were senior offensive lineman Seth Lowry, junior linebacker Carter Dingler and junior defensive end Alex Howard.
Dingler finished the season with 128 tackles and four sacks, while Howard ended up with 64 tackles, (29 for a loss), 11.5 sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries. He also started at offensive tackle, where he graded out at 87 percent with 53 pancake blocks and 78 nasty blocks.
Four players from Hokes Bluff were selected to the se-cond team – senior offensive lineman Jack Busch, senior linebacker Levi Taliaferro, senior punter Landon Johnson and sophomore safety Austin Gulledge.
Taliaferro finished with 154 tackles while Gulledge led The Messenger’s coverage area with 164 stops. Johnson punted 41 times for 1,595 yards and a 39.0 average.
Senior safety Chase Bright and junior defensive tackle represent Sardis on the Class 4A second team. Bright had 42 tackles, five interceptions and six pass break-ups. Holcomb had 88 tackles seven sacks.
A pair of Westbrook players made the Class 2A second team.
Senior safety Caeden Godfrey finished with 54 tackles (11 for a loss), three interceptions and two sacks, while junior defensive end Jackson Luttrell had 64 tackles (22 for a loss) and four sacks. Also on the 2A second team were Gaston junior linebacker Lane Talbot and West End senior defensive tackle Dwayne Miller.
Talbot had 123 tackles (24 for a loss), five sacks and one interception. Miller, who was picked for the team in the Athlete category, was a two-way starter for the Patriots at offensive and defensive tackle. He had 65 tackles and six sacks on defense.
Making honorable mention were Etowah junior defensive lineman Jesse Altman in 5A, Sardis senior offensive lineman Braydon Lacey in 4A and Coosa Christian senior tight end Jackson Justus in 4A.
Altman ended up with 73 tackles (30 for a loss), six sacks and three forced fumbles, while Justus caught 38 passes for 592 yards and five touchdowns.
