Twelve Fort Frye Cadets earned a mention on the Ohio Prep Sports Media Association’s All-East District football teams.

Six made first team, two made second team and four were honorable mention picks.

Head coach Eric Huck’s squad is 9-1 after defeating Caldwell 28-14 in last week’s regional semis.

Fort Frye, which won the Twin State League, went 8-1 in the regular season and allowed just 29 points to opposing offenses from weeks 2-10.

Tyce Beardsley, a first team defensive back, was picked as the district’s co-Defensive Player of the Year. Bearsley was a lockdown cornerback for the Cadets, recording six interceptions.

Beardsley, a senior, easily could have joined Gavin Rauch as a first team running back after carrying 98 times for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns in the regular season.

Rauch, a junior, added 783 yards and 12 TDs on 86 carries. He also had 113 yards and a touchdown on five catches. He’s been the ideal complement to Beardsley in Fort Frye’s ground attack.

Offensive linemen Blake Wheeler and Dayne Miller, both seniors, also made first team. Wheeler’s been a key cog for the Cadets since his freshman year. At guard, Wheeler often paves the way for Beardsley and Rauch.

After withstanding an injury-plagued junior season, Miller bounced back in a big way this season. He’s been a force up front for the Cadets and helped ease the blow of losing Braxton Ross and Trevin Nicholson, two All-Ohio linemen, to graduation.

Defensively, juniors Tytan Waller and Grady Hesson also made first team.

Waller is a linebacker for the Cadets who also plays tight end and handles the kicking duties. On defense, he’s racked up 49 tackles and eight tackles for loss. Waller also two forced fumbles, two fumbles recovered and six QB hurries.

Offensively, Waller is more of a blocker — and a good one — but did catch two passes this season, with one going for a touchdown.

On special teams, Waller is 33 for 34 on extra-point attempts and 1 for 2 on field goals in limited opportunities. He averages 56.5 yards per kickoff, with 12 of his 50 kickoffs going for touchdowns. With as well as Fort Frye’s defense has played, having a kicker who can swing the field position game so effectively is incredibly valuable.

Hesson, the Cadets’ junior QB, makes just as big of impact from his safety position on defense.

“Teams don’t throw over the middle,” Huck said. Hesson made 29 tackles and one interception in the regular season, but all his contributions don’t necessarily show up on the stat sheet. Hesson calls all the coverage audibles for the FFHS defense, and is good against the run and the pass.

In his second year under center, Hesson is 29 for 56 for 414 yards, six touchdowns and one interceptions.

Senior linebacker Kainan Bradford (67 tackles, 10 TFLs, 1 INT) and junior defensive lineman Zavier Springer (27 tackles, 8 TFLs, 1 sack) made second team.

Junior linebacker Sam Bricker, senior center Sam Beaver, freshman DB Clayton Tullius and senior nose tackle Christian Friese made honorable mention.

Elsewhere in D6, Caldwell was well represented.

The Redskins who finished 8-4 after the Fort Frye loss, were the 10 seed in a stacked Region 23. They routed Grove City Christian 42-7 in a first-round matchup.

Senior running back Gavin Leake was co-Offensive Player of the Year after racking up 191 carries, 1,927 yards and 30 touchdowns in 11 games. He also caught 12 passes for 178 yards and two more scores.

Junior lineman Charles Gessel (first team) and Dalton Egnot (second team) were the big cogs in Caldwell’s offensive line, while reciver Brody Chandler (first team) grabbed 47 catches for 529 yards and five TDs.

On defense, Guiler Preston (72 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 10 TFLs, 3 FRs) was a first team lineman while Jonah Moracco (113 tackles, 19 TFLs) and Owen Hunt (117 tackles, 12 TFLs, 2 sacks) both were first team linebackers.

Grady Mazgay (30 tackles, 5 INTs) was a second team defensive back.

From Shenandoah, which went 5-5 this season, senior Cole VanFossen earned his way on the first team defense.

At linebacker, VanFossen racked up an even 100 tackles.

His twin brother, Caden, was a second team running back (880 yards).

Quarterback Brody Brown (1,300 yards, 17 touchdowns) and O-lineman Cayden Rucker also were second team picks while Jamison Archer was honorable mention.

In Division VII, Frontier saw two of its players make their way onto the first team.

Senior Caleb Kirkpatrick had more than 1,000 total yards at running back to earn first team honors.

Wide receiver Austyn Kephart also was a first teamer after eclipsing 900 yards and scoring 16 total touchdowns.

Seniors Ethan Hartshorn, the Cougars’ top O-lineman, and quarterback Aaden Bills (1,400 passing yards, 12 TDs) were second team picks while junior lineman Josh Booth was honorable mention.

In Division V, the Morgan Raiders had an unforgettable year, winning eight games in a season for the first time since 2000 and claiming the program’s first ever postseason victory when they defeated Coal Grove 43-22 two weeks ago.

Morgan’s season concluded with last week’s regional quarterfinal loss to top-seeded Wheelersburg.

Second-year head man Seth Brown was named co-Coach of the Year, while junior running back Tanner Bankes, senior kicker Jude Garber and senior linemen Witten Schaad and Devin Waggy all were named to the first team.

Bankes rushed for 1,147 yards and 16 touchdowns in the regular season, with Schaad anchoring the O-line in front of him.

Waggy had 46 tackles, five TFLs and a sack on the D-line.

Making second team for Morgan was senior quarterback Haiden Pauley (1,154 yards, 7 TDs), senior linebacker Arlis Ponchak (82 tackles, 1 INT) and senior defensive back Hayden Bankes (15 tackles, 2 INTs in 4 games).
