The All-Area team is picked by me and based on what I have seen and read. This is NOT affiliated with The Lansdale Reporter. It is given the title of "All-Area" based on the requirement of needing to play in the Lansdale Reporter, Montgomery Media, Times Herald, or The Mercury's coverage area.
I am aware Saint Joseph's Prep, Neshaminy, and Archbishop Ryan have had some stellar seasons from stellar athletes, but there is no Jawan McAllister, D'Andre Pollard, or Samir Bullock on these teams.
Without further adieu...
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
FIRST TEAM QUARTERBACK: Rasaan Stewart (Perkiomen Valley) - This would have been my pick before he orchestrated a 60-20 win in the District One quarterfinals. Forget about the defense he plays at safety, a position he will play at the next level, and admire the stats he gained as the signal caller for the Vikings. Stewart capped off an impressive career with a standout senior season. A 2,000/1,000 year for a team that won 10 games makes him the easy choice my the Area Player of the Year. My apologies to LaSalle's Kyle Shurmur and Abington's Craig Reynolds.
SECOND TEAM QUARTERBACK: Kyle Shurmur (LaSalle)
THIRD TEAM QUARTERBACK: John Fitz (Central Bucks West)
HONORABLE MENTION QUARTERBACK: Connor Hanlon (Plymouth-Whitemarsh)
SECOND TEAM RUNNINGBACKBACK: Mike Class (Pennridge)
THIRD TEAM QUARTERBACK: Jarred Jones (Spring-Ford)
HONORABLE MENTION RUNNING BACK: Jarrett McClenton (Archbishop Wood)
SECOND TEAM FULLBACK: John Lee (Upper Dublin)
THIRD TEAM FULLBACK: Brian Afflick (Plymouth-Whitemarsh)
HONORABLE MENTION FULLBACK: Josh Messina (Archbishop Wood)
SECOND TEAM OFFENSIVE LINE: Frank Tranzilli (North Penn)
THIRD TEAM OFFENSIVE LINE: Pat Finn (Pottsgrove)
HONORABLE MENTION OFFENSIVE LINE: Ian Bates (Lansdale Catholic)
SECOND TEAM WIDE RECEIVER: Jimmy Herron (LaSalle)
THIRD TEAM WIDE RECEIVER: Micah Stutzman (Pennridge)
HONORABLE MENTION WIDE RECEIVER: Manny Nieves (Souderton)
SECOND TEAM TIGHT END: Zach Talley (Lansdale Catholic)
THIRD TEAM TIGHT END: Marc Conran (Upper Dublin)
HONORABLE MENTION TIGHT END: Shayne McCurdy (Academy New Church)
ALL-AREA MEDIA KICK: Matt Ammendola (North Penn)
ALL-AREA MEDIA PUNTER: Peter Psomiadis (Pennridge)
FIRST TEAM DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Mason Romano (Spring-Ford) - When you saw the Rams on the schedule you knew it was paramount to make most of the limited opportunities you received. Led by the senior defensive end the Rams played in their share of low-scoring affairs. His pass rush gave opposing quarterbacks fits and was one of the rare teams and players to slow down Perk Valley's Rasaan Stewart, a 14-7 win. Romano is my Area Defensive Player of the Year. My apologies to Pottsgrove's Michael Fowler and LaSalle's Zaire Franklin.
SECOND TEAM DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Josh Beare (Pennridge)
THIRD TEAM DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Grant Udinski (Central Bucks West)
HONORABLE MENTION DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Nick Wright (North Penn)
SECOND TEAM LINEBACKER: Michael Cassidy (Methacton)
THIRD TEAM LINEBACKER: Joe Leventhal (Lower Moreland)
HONORABLE MENTION LINEBACKER: Jude Coughlin (Lansdale Catholic)
SECOND TEAM DEFENSIVE BACK: Joe Ramos (Central Bucks West)
THIRD TEAM DEFENSIVE BACK: Kendall Singleton (Archbishop Wood)
HONORABLE MENTION DEFENSIVE BACK: Kurran Holland (Perkiomen Valley)
