Published 8:44 am Wednesday, November 14, 2018

DOWAGIAC — Wolverine Conference champion Edwardsburg dominated the all-conference football team with nine selections.

The Eddies landed four players on the offensive side of the squad and five players on the defensive unit.

Kevin Bartz was also named Wolverine Conference Coach of the Year.

First-team selections for the Eddies on offense were running back Chase Sager, quarterback Tre Harvey and offensive linemen Josh Priebe and Ethan Griffin.

On defense, Dylan McColley and Dillon Hursh were first-team selections at linebacker, Sager and Noah Carrico as defensive linemen and Mac Gaideski at defensive back.

Dowagiac had two first-team picks, one on each side of the football.

Chieftain quarterback Cailyn Murphy was named as a skilled position player, while Dylan Hill was selected as a defensive lineman.

“I am proud of the players recognized by the Wolverine coaches as well as the rest of the team,” said Dowagiac coach Mike Stanger. “They worked hard and fought all season.”
