Seven Tigers Named to All-State Squad

Seven different Tigers were named to the All-State Squad Tuesday, three days after Worth County won its seventh state title. Some players won honors for multiple positions.

Ryan McClellan was named as a 1st team all-purpose back. He had 735 rushing yards and 547 passing yards. He was also named as a 1st team defensive back, where he had 7 picks and 83 tackles.

Tevin Cameron was named as a 1st team runningback. He had 185 carries for 2,097 yards and 48 touchdowns; he won the rushing title and also scored the most touchdowns in the league. He was named to four different positions. As a 1st team linebacker, he had 5 sacks and 119 tackles. As a 1st team returner, he routinely put Worth County in good field position. And as a 2nd team kicker, he repeatedly kicked the ball deep and frequently into the end zone, forcing teams to go a long ways to score.

Drake Kinsella was named to the 1st team offensive line along with Colton Wilmes. Together, they opened up the holes for Tevin Cameron, Isaac Alarcon, and Ryan McClellan to run through. Kinsella was also named as a 1st team defensive end, where he had 12 sacks and 100 tackles.

Devan Jackson was named to the 1st team defensive line. He had four sacks and 74 tackles and always had to have two players blocking him, allowing everyone else to make tackles.

Mason Hawk was the other 1st team defensive end for Worth County. He had six sacks and 61 tackles. Together, they anchored the defense so that teams could not run outside and get long runs.

Bryant McCord was named as 1st team defensive back. He had 7 picks, 56 tackles, and 1 sack. He routinely covered the other team’s best receiver, allowing the linemen time to get in and get a sack.
