Cascade, St. Mary's boast stars Cascade Christian parlayed its 3-2 mark in Southern Cascade League play into several prime spots on the all-league football squad. The Challengers (4-5) placed 10 players on the all-league teams, including two players on the first-team offense and two on the first-team defense. Junior running back Brian Prins and senior lineman Andy Gifford were selected to the first team offense for the Challengers, while senior linemen Kevin Anderson and Kyle Stutzman were named to the first-team defense. St. Mary's received a first-team nod on offense in junior lineman Andy Ericson and on defense in junior lineman Alex Duncan. The solid local presence didn't translate into the league's top honors, however, as SCL champion Lost River (7-2, 5-0) garnered the most acclaim. Lost River's Dennis Dunlea was named coach of the year, while Lost River senior lineman Chris Mathews was selected defensive player of the year and senior teammate Josh McCollom shared the offensive player of the year honor with Bonanza senior Travis Williams. Also gaining acclaim for Cascade Christian were second-team members Joel Crosby and Jordan Ferrell on offense and Brian Edwards and Gifford on defense. Ben Hefley and Will Vanderstoel each received honorable mention for the Challengers. St. Mary's picked up an offensive and defensive spot on the second team, with senior Brandon Emrick doing the honors on both sides of the ball. The Crusaders also nabbed three honorable mention spots with the selections of juniors Tyler Stout and Tracy Terrall on defense and sophomore Chris Hurley on offense.
