And now we finally get the sportswriters all-state team. To no one’s surprise Cassville leads the way with 6 players selected for the class 3 team. RB Joseph Gouvion, OL Dylan Gibson, K Matt Angel, and DL Garrett Mahurin all make the first team. With LB Devin Linenbrink and DB Josh Lewright making the second team. Next comes nine different Ozarks squads who place 3 players. Bolivar, Carthage, Miller, Rogersville, Thayer, and Webb City each have 2 first team and 1 second team pick. Lamar, Rolla, and Seneca each place 3 players on the second team.
Notables include Carthage’s Brian Poston who, after being left off the coaches all-state team, gets a well deserved class 4 first team selection. Jeff Pipenbrink of Jasper gives the Eagles their first all-state player in 15 years. And Hillcrest’ Doriel Green is the only sophomore selected for the class 4 team. Notable exclusions would include Webb City’s Scott Roderique, Kyle Smith of Lamar, and Cassville’s Trevor Tanner. Each was a coaches first team pick.
