Class AAA All-State

Friday night the Associated Press released this year's Class AAA All-State team. Mechanicsburg seniors Jake Zeigler, a defensive back, and Tyler Bullock, a lineman, were named to the second team while East Pennsboro senior center Matt Couch found a spot on the second team offense.

Mechanicsburg went 10-0 in the regular season, won the Mid-Penn Colonial Division outright and advanced to the District 3 Class AAA semifinals where the Wildcats lost to Manheim Central, 26-21, to finish 12-1.

East Pennsboro was Mechanicsburg's first-round victim in the 3-AAA field and suffered a 35-7 loss to the top seed. The Panthers ended 5-6.

Thomas Jefferson senior running back Brian Baldridge, a vital part of the Jaguars' run to their second straight state title, was the Player of the Year while first-year Selinsgrove coach Dave Hess picked up Coach of the Year. Hess led the Seals to the state semifinals where they lost to Archbishop Wood, 13-7.
