BELLVILLE — Clear Fork and Galion were both big winners when the All-Northwest District football team was announced Wednesday evening.
Galion’s Landon Kurtzman was selected the Division IV Defensive Player of the Year, while Clear Fork’s Kaden Riddle was chosen the Lineman of the Year. Clear Fork’s Dave Carroll was the Coach of the Year.

The imposing Riddle (6-foot-4, 270-pounds) was a force on both sides of the ball as the Colts won the MOAC title. He had 59 tackles and three sacks, while helping clear the way for the conference’s top rushing attack.
Carroll led the Colts to a 10-2 record and a berth in the Division IV, Region 14 quarterfinals. He was recently informed he would not be retained as Clear Fork’s coach, bringing an end to his 14-year run as the coach at his alma mater.

A junior, Ivy rushed for 1,501 yards and 18 touchdowns during the regular season. He also had a pair of TD receptions.
Frankhouse had 103 tackles, including eight tackles for loss, from his linebacker position. The junior also recovered three fumbles.

Clear Fork’s Luke Schlosser was a first-team pick at linebacker. The junior had a team-high 61 tackles.
Clear Fork’s Adam Vanausdle was a first-team selection at kicker. The junior was 42-for-46 on PATs and 3-for-3 on field goals.
The area’s other first-team pick was Shelby receiver Issaiah Ramsey. The athletic 6-foot-3, 180-pound junior was the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference’s leading receiver, catching 50 passes for 1,047 yards and seven touchdown during the regular season.
