6 area players named all-state

Holliday defensive lineman D.J. Boyd was one of six area players named to the 61st Annual Collin Street Bakery/Texas Sports Writers Association's Class 2A All-State Football Team.

Boyd, a 6-1, 203-pound senior, was a second-team selection — the only area player on the second team.

Teammate Ryan Todd, a 6-2, 297-pound senior, made it on both offense and defense as he was a third-team pick at offensive tackle and an honorable mention selection on the defensive line.

Other third-team picks were Nocona running back Tate Fenoglio (5-10, 163-pound, junior) and Holliday defensive back Austin Twilligear (5-9, 167-pound, senior).

Honorable mention picks were City View running back D.J. Brown (5-8, 170-pound, senior) and Henrietta linebacker Korben Allen (6-1, 165-pound, senior).

A couple of players from Division II state champion Refugio head up the Class 2A All-State team.

Quarterback Travis Quintanilla was the Offensive Player of the Year, while lineman Alex Trevino was the Defensive Player of the Year.

Melissa's Seth Stinton was the coach of the year, leading the Cardinals to the Division I state title at 13-1.
