COLUMBUS — Crawford County may not have had any representation in the postseason at the Division VII level, but that didn’t take away from some talented players garnering top honors in the state.
The Ohio Prep Sports Media Association announced the All-Ohio teams Monday afternoon and seven from the area were named honorable mentions.
Crestline led the way with five honorees in seniors Kieran Barnett and Brett Cheney along with juniors Weston Clark, Quentin Kapp, and Kordaie Robinson. Barnett had 28 receptions for 559 yards and five touchdowns as a tight end, Cheney was impossible to get around on the offensive line standing at 6-foot-6, 340 pounds. Clark caught eight passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns along with nabbing two interceptions on defense and returning four — two punts, two kickoffs — for touchdowns on special teams; he was recognized as a wide receiver due to athlete not being an eligible position. Kapp recorded 101 tackles, six for loss, and one pick-six at linebacker while Robinson averaged 30 yards per punt on 19 attempts.
Buckeye Central senior Jack Phillips earned honors for the second consecutive season as a quarterback after throwing for 970 yards and nine touchdowns with 343 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Bucyrus junior Hayden Butcher was a menace at linebacker recording 96 tackles, 23 for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Below are the Division VII All-Ohio football teams as selected by the Ohio Prep Sports Media Association.
