*** The All-Montgomery Media football team was solely picked by me, based on what I have seen and read. It is NOT an official Montco Media team. I gave it that title based on the fact that the players needed to be on teams in the coverage area of Montgomery Media.
Without further adieu...
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Dominic Taggart (North Penn) - I am not even sure what position the Knights' ultimate weapon can really be listed at. He lines up at fullback, wide receiver, tight end and halfback. He scores multiple touchdowns each week and is just as solid on defense. While a lot of the Knights' opponents looked to stop Craig Needhammer, the Knights' touchdown king, Taggart has torched teams every week.
QUARTERBACK: Andrew Derr (Upper Dublin) - The junior quarterback has matured into a leader on the field for the Suburban One League American Conference champs. He has talent surrounding him, so he has not had to do too much, but Derr's ability to manage the game and leave the field with wins helps me give him the nod. According to maxpreps.com Derr has a 102 passer rating with 11 touchdowns to three interceptions.
2nd Team: Julien Ireland (Abington); 3rd Team: Corey Ernst (North Penn); Honorable Mentions: Russhon Phillips (Plymouth-Whitemarsh), Kenneth Cropper (Cheltenham), Hank Coynes (Spring-Ford)
TAILBACKS: Ryan Brumfield (Owen J. Roberts) - Week after week the Wildcat finds the end zone four or five times and runs for 200 yards no matter the opponent. In the deepest position, where every team has some one who make game changing plays, I'm going with the kid that scored 100 career touchdowns and piled up 8,000 rushing yards. He could finish the year with the most rushing yards in Southeastern PA history and flirt with the record for most all-time in the state.
2nd Team: Desmon Peoples (Archbishop Wood); 3rd Team: Jamal Abdur-Rahman (LaSalle); Honorable Mentions: Naim Cheeseboro (Upper Merion), Craig Needhammer (North Penn), Jack Kinniry (Jenkintown), Travis McCurdy (Academy of the New Church)
FULLBACKS: Dom Defazio (Hatboro-Horsham) - The bruising Hatter has dealt with his share of injuries in a tough season in Hatboro, but when he is on the field he pushes off tacklers as if they were dust on his shoulders. In the game I saw him in person against Council Rock North the fullback lit up the scoreboard with four scores and 200 yards.
2nd Team: Devon Barrett (Lansdale Catholic); 3rd Team: Conner Geiger (William Tennent)
WIDE RECEIVER: Dominic Taggart (North Penn) - He was my player of the year. Enough said.
2nd Team: Rocky Ferrier (Pennridge); 3rd Team: Ben Carbutt (Perkiomen Valley); Honorable Mention: LaMonnt Jackson (Germantown Academy)
TIGHT END: Colin Thompson (Archbishop Wood) - The big target for the Vikings is just a matchup nightmare. Need a first down - call number 84. Need a score - call number 84. Need to run the ball - run in behind the best tight end in Montgomery Media's coverage area.
2nd Team: Ry Yozallinas (Souderton); 3rd Team: Ralph Reeves (North Penn)
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN: Willy Kye (North Penn) - There is a reason the Knights are the two seed in the District One playoffs and for how good Taggart, Needhammer and company have been, it all starts with the offensive line. Willy Kye is the senior lead dog up front, sledding away and opening holes for whoever and whenever.
2nd Team: Nick Ruhl (Abington); 3rd Team: Max Vido (Springfield)
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN: Joe Stolfi (Souderton) - The Indians' defense has helped them win so many games this season and squeak into the District One playoffs. The main cog has been the defensive front and the leader on that unit is Stolfi. He has led one of the toughest run defenses and also has shown the ability to get to the passer.
2nd Team: Dave Driscoll (Upper Moreland); 3rd Team: Anthony Fecondo (Pennridge)
LINEBACKERS: Brandon Cope (Pennridge) - He has 600 ruhsing yards as a fullback, but the five sacks he has for the Rams has clearly helped this unit become one of the toughest to score against in the area. Cope puts pressure on opposing signal callers like very few others in the area and can also drop back in pass coverage and use his athleticsim to pick off passes.
2nd Team: Dan Rouse (Cheltenham); 3rd Team: Sean Duffy (Lower Moreland)
DEFENSIVE BACKS: Anthony DiNolfi (Norristown) - DiNolfi is a differnce maker on both sides of the ball and he has kept the Eagles in a number of games with his hands on defense. He's a leader on that club and he always find himself around the ball, making a play.
2nd Team: Sam McCain (Archbishop Wood); 3rd Team: Matt Conroy (Bishop McDevitt); Honorable Mentions: Anthony Delegall (Wissahickon), Tyler Weiss (Pope John Paull II)
KICKER: Brandon Mandes (North Penn)
PUNTER: Ryan Winslow (LaSalle)
