Locals Everywhere on All-Eastern District Football Teams

POSTED: November 11, 2009

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Perhaps the Ohio Eastern District football team should be renamed. Something like, All-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference.

When the squad was released Tuesday, 72 Ohio Valley players were selected to the first team, seven of which were either named Offensive or Defensive Player of the Year.

Nowhere was there more of an OV flavor than Division III, as Steubenville quarterback Dwight Macon and Harrison Central running back Ben Palmer shared the Offensive Player of the Year with Marcus Mamarella of Dover. Buckeye Local's Bobby Spence intercepted nine passes during the regular season and repeats as the Defensive Player of the Year, and the Huskies' Justin Kropka was named the top coach.

Martins Ferry cornerback Marco Richetti shared the top defensive honor in Division IV with Coshochton's Zack Shaw. Purple Riders boss Dave Bruney was selected as one of three Coaches of the Year.

Moving on to Division V, where Caldwell's Seth Todd's play earned him Defensive Player of the Year, while Monroe Central's Jay Circosta was honored with a coaching award.

Bridgeport, fresh off a Division IV opening-round playoff rout of Tusky Catholic was rewarded handsomely with top honors bestowed on Coach Rudy Vavrock and defensive lineman Nate Maleski.

Braily Blair of Zanesville was Division II's top defender.
