Class 2A champ Southern Columbia has 5 All-State picks
Three regular season losses did little to slow down the runaway train that is Southern Columbia’s football program.
The Tigers, sitting 5-3 in mid-October, won their final eight games to capture a sixth straight PIAA championship. Thursday they were rewarded with five spots on the Pennsylvania Football Writers Class 2A All-State team, including Player of the Year Braeden Wisloski.
The senior running back rushed for 1,964 yards and scored 31 touchdowns, including a pair in a 37-22 win over Westinghouse in the PIAA Class 2A championship game.
The Class 3A All-State team will be announced later today. Players were nominated by and selected in a vote of sportswriters across the state.
Joining Wisloski on the 42-player squad are four teammates: Offensive lineman Chris Treshock, defensive lineman Tyler Arnold, and linebackers Dominic Fetterolf and Wes Barnes. Fetterolf, a sophomore who made 158 tackles, is a repeat pick.
Donta Green was named Coach of the Year after his Westinghouse team went 14-1 and won the WPIAL championship. The Bulldogs had four players selected for the team.
Farrell, Lakeland and Mount Carmel each had three All-State selections.
Annville-Cleona’s Phoenix Music is the lone Lancaster-Lebanon League team player selected for the team. He rushed for 2,227 yards, tops in Section 5, and 28 TDs.
Wisloski rushed for 100 yards 12 times as Southern finished 13-3, with its 14th overall PIAA championship.
Last year the Tigers landed seven players on the All-State team.
