Longtime rivals Oak Grove and Ouachita Christian accomplished the rarest of feats in bringing two state championships to District 2-1A.
Both combined for 11 first-team selections to the Class 1A All-State team voted by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Class 1A state champion Oak Grove led the way with seven players on the first team.
OCS quarterback Hunter Herring received the Offensive Most Valuable Player award after helping the Eagles capture the Division IV state title. Herring became the first quarterback in school history to run and pass for over 1,000 yards in the same season, amassing 2,919 total yards and 52 touchdowns.
Linebacker Collin Chatman of Oberlin was honored as the Defensive Most Valuable Player. Chatman made 141 tackles, including 19 tackles-for-a-loss, and had seven sacks for an Oberlin team that began the Class 1A playoffs as the second overall seed and reached the semifinals.
Coach of the Year David Simoneaux led Catholic-Pointe Coupee to a Division IV runner-up finish, which was the school’s first championship-game appearance since 1978.
St. Edmund senior standout Peyton Marcantel was added to the honorable mention list.
Marcantel finished the season with 1,373 yards rushing on 194 attempts with 11 touchdowns on the season. He also threw for three touchdowns.
On defense, Marcantel had 32 tackles, two quarterback sacks, five tackles for loss, two pass break-ups and an interception.
