OLIVESBURG — He is Crestview’s career leader in sacks, and now Owen Barker is the top Division V lineman in all of northwest Ohio.
A senior, Barker was selected the Division V Lineman of the Year when the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association announced the All-Northwest District teams Wednesday.
Crestview’s Steve Haverdill was selected the Coach of the Year. He shared the award with Margaretta’s Gary Quisno after leading the Cougars to their third consecutive Firelands Conference championship. Crestview reached the Division VI, Region 22 semifinals.
A 6-foot-3, 205-pound defensive end, Barker broke Nick Manocchio’s career mark of 25.5 sacks during the regular season. He had 80 tackles and 11 sacks heading into last week’s regional semifinal game against Columbia.
Haverdill is 39-10 in four seasons. The Cougars have qualified for the playoffs each year.
Barker was joined on the all-district first team by five of his Crestview teammates.
Senior Mason Ringler was a first-team pick on the offensive line. He helped clear the way for a ground attack that averaged more than 200 rushing yards per game.
Senior Adison Reymer earned a spot on the all-district first team as a running back. He rushed for 1,395 yards and 20 touchdowns despite battling injuries much of the year.
Senior quarterback Hayden Kuhn was one of five signal-callers selected to the first team. Kuhn threw for 1,452 yards and 15 touchdowns while completing 57% of his passes.
Senior Shawn Bailey was a first-team pick at linebacker. He had 87 tackles headed into last week’s regional semifinal game.
Senior Caden Cunningham was a first-team pick at defensive back. He had six interceptions on the year and was also Crestview’s top receiver, averaging more than 18 yards per catch.
Colonel Crawford had four players earn first team honors. The Eagles reached the Region 22 semifinals before falling to Columbus Grove 14-7 in overtime last week.
Trevor Vogt was a first-team pick at receiver. The junior ranked among the Northern 10 Athletic Conference leaders with 34 receptions for 766 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Senior Parker Ketterman was a first-team pick on the offensive line. Ketterman also led the N10 with 36 tackles for loss.
Kicker Braxton Morton was a first-team selection after connecting on 61-of-64 PATs. The junior was the N10’s leading scorer among kickers with 64 points.
Senior Gabe Thew was a first-teams selection at linebacker. Thew had 152 tackles through Colonel Crawford’s first 12 games.
It was a tough year for Wynford, but Kalen Skidmore earned a spot on the all-district first team on the offensive line. The 6-foot, 260-pound junior helped clear the way for running back Kaiden Blair, who ranked third in the NCC with 736 rushing yards.
In Division VII, Lucas had three players make the all-district first team. Corbin Toms was a first-team pick at receiver, while Ty Lenhart was a first-team linebacker and Logan Tom earned a spot in the all-district secondary.
Corbin Toms caught 34 passes for 469 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Cubs reach the Division VII, Region 25 semifinals. He also had four interceptions and returned two kickoffs for touchdowns.
A senior, Lenhart had 132 tackles on the season. He had a pair of sacks and forced three fumbles.
Logan Toms had 149 tackles and a pair of interceptions on the season. He was also Lucas’ leading rusher with 1,495 yards and 17 TDs.
