ALL-ITCL Team

[gridirongiant]

Well its been a while since i've posted, but i've been pretty busy. I haven't got to see any of the games this year, so I was wondering that now that the season is over, which players really stood out. I know that the name Hill and Dawson will be mentioned, but who else?

Here is how I think some of the awards may be handed out, this is just first team only:

Receivers:
1. Austin Cope East Palestine JR
2. Mike McLaughlin United JR

Linemen:
1. Ian Lanney Crestview SR
2. Mike McMaster Columbiana JR
3. Jacob Richards Crestview SR
4. Chris Gause South Range SR
5. Steve Yacovone Mineral Ridge SR


Offensive Backs:
1. Corey Hill Crestview SR
2. Jack Dawson South Range SR
3. Shane Peterson East Palestine JR
4. Brian Warchol Columbiana SR



1st Team Defense
Linemen:
1. Nick Robinson Crestview SR
2. JD Harris Crestview SR
3. Jon Welsh Columbiana SR
4. Matt Greene East Palestine SR

Linebackers:
1. Gary Cervone Crestview JR
2. Jarod Razo South Range SR
3. Ryan Phillis United JR
4. Hunter Spitz South Range JR

2. Aaron Sweeney Lisbon SR
3. Geoff Salyers East Palestine SR
4. One of the Skiba's from Mineral Ridge

Specialist:
1. Josh Harold Columbiana SR
2. Bryan Visingardi Springfield SR



Other notable players who I think will get either first or second team are:
Tyler Dejong COL SR
JonathanRitchey COL JR
Nick Roncone COL SO
Cameron Reynolds Crestview SR
Carter Hill Crestview SO
TJ Rankin Crestview SR
David Drinnon Crestview SR
Ryan Dilworth EP JR
Dalton Cope EP SR
Ben Gysin EP JR
The other Skiba of Mineral Ridge
Matt Evans Springfield SR
Eric Lipp Springfield SR
*Dylan DeJane JR (Unsure b/c of injury)
Adam Lewis United SR
Nick Golec South Range JR
Grant Snyder South Range SR


I know this is the "homer" pick to do, but I would like to see a return spot on the league selections. I would give this award to Nick Golec of South Range for very good reason, not just because I am a SR fan. He is very dynamic at both KR and PR and can change a game on a single play. JMO, for the awards, what does everyone else have?

I think after last night Corey Hill should at least have a spot as an honorable mention on these teams locked up and has an outside shot at first team all league.

In all seriousness, there are a lot of good players. Always tough to narrow it down but I do think this year is more cut and dry than others and the top players have separated themselves.

I think you might have meant that Carter Hill has at least secured himself a post season award. Corey has more than an outside shot at first team, he very well could be the MVP.

[justafan]

I meant Corey Hill. I was just being sarcastic since he has put up record breaking numbers and will be a unanimous selection. That's why I said "In all seriousness, there are a lot of good players..."

You should duck next time things are flying right over your head! Didn't they teach you anything at South Range?!

Carter Hill should get some accolades but I doubt he gets anything but an HM with Jack Dawson and Shane Peterson out there. His time will come though.

[raiderqb95]

I get it now ;D I just really thought that you meant Corey lol.
I think that Carter will recieve 2nd team O-back. His numbers were more than deserving this year and doesn't get the recognition that he deserves because Corey is such a great player too. I hope that is the last of the Hill boy's, because I would hate to see a dynasty of the "Hill's" in C-View, like the Schulers over in New Middleton ;D

[justafan]

I'm fairly certain there is a third Hill boy. I also believe that Coach Cusick has a kid too. Crestview state champs in 2020!

Every time I've seen a really good Crestview team they've been peppered with Reynolds', Thompsons, Hendersons, Waltons, and now Hills.

[raiderqb95]

ITCL, I know you usually have the connections with this stuff, so any word yet? I heard the coaches voted last night or the night before. Don't really know though with the Rebs still playing. I'm sure Cusick is more worried about preparing for the game instead of awards.

[ITCL Web Page]

raiderqb, thats for the recognition. ;D. Yes, they were suppose to vote for the All-ITCL team last night (11/6). Usually the coaches know they're players, not the whole league, which is understandable. We did plant a bug in the ear of a reliable media source to pass the selections on the web site as soon as it is avaliable. A full list will be posted as soon as the ITCL offices release it.

i dont kno if i just missed him but i didnt see him. it might just be me, but i think john vasilchek from the lower teir should be somwhere in this list (doesnt have to be in the 1st team...not even the second team, but somwhere). thats just my opinion nd im not lookin for an argument.

Raiderqb95, your picks are very, very close to the actual for the upper tier. How come you didn't do this well in the weekly pick'ems? ;D ;D

[raiderqb95]

Well my genius only works half the time Congrats to all the players who garnered awards for this past season and good luck to all the seniors at the next level, whether they continue to play or not!

[raiderqb95]

How did the coaches miss out on David Drinnon and TJ Rankin from Crestview? I thought they were two of the better players at their respective positions this past year, especially Drinnon. I know TE's don't get much love, but I don't think there was a better one in the league this past season! And ITCL, I may need corrected on this, but didn't Razo play LB for most of the season, yet he was 1st team all league as a DL? It was also nice to see the unanimous desicions for the players!
