NELSONVILLE — A quartet of top-tier names headline the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association’s All-Southeast District football selections.
Unioto’s Newton Hoops, Jackson’s Jacob Winters, Logan Elm’s Blayton Reid and Ironton’s Ty Perkins have earned District Player of the Year honors in their respective divisions. Hoops is the Division IV Offensive Player of the Year, Reid is the Division IV Defensive Player of the Year and Winters and Perkins are the OPOY in Divisions III and V.
Hoops broke just about every single-season passing record Unioto has while leading his Shermans to a 9-2 finish, Winters helped his Ironmen go 10-3 and clinch an outright league title, Reid was a juggernaut in both the offensive and defensive backfields for the playoff-bound Braves, and Perkins has his Tigers playing into Week 14 with a perfect 13-0 mark.
Here’s a look at the full list of all-district football selections.
