Utilities Employees Credit Union
Wilson’s Michael Glover followed up an impressive sophomore season with an even better performance as a junior, when he started both ways and earned major awards on each side of the ball.
Glover, who added full-time defensive end duties after earning all-league honors at tight end last year, was named the Outstanding Lineman and Offensive Lineman of the Year in Section 1 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League Wednesday at the league coach’s banquet.
Glover was one of Wilson’s 13 first-team picks, including senior Jaiden Carpenter, who was named Defensive Back of the Year and at wide receiver.
Running back/kick returner Correll Aking was Wilson’s third two-way pick, and one of eight overall in the section.
Akings, at running back, is also one of six repeat picks on the first team, along with Glover, Cedar Crest running back Isaiah Zimmerman, Manheim Township defensive lineman Tayor Veilleux, Hempfield defensive end Cadyn Buckwalter, and Hempfield punter Brady Biscoe.
Section 1 champ Manheim Township had eight first-team picks. Hempfield had six, including Orion Abrams, who was named both Outstanding Back and Receiver of the Year. Buckwalter was named Defensive Lineman of the Year. Zimmerman was named Offensive Back of the Year. Linebacker of the Year went to Cedar Crest’s Landy Kline.
The team was selected in voting by Section 1 coaches.
