EDWARDSBURG — The reward for winning an eighth consecutive Wolverine Conference championship is dominating the all-league squad.

That is exactly what Edwardsburg did as the undefeated Eddies landed five players on the first-team offense, three on the second-team offense, five on the first-team defense and one on the second-team defense.

The Eddies also had the Wolverine Conference Coach of the Year in Kevin Bartz.

First-team all-conference offensive members were Landon Mikel, Brennen Brady-Brittain, Will Jacobson, Ben Miller and Trevor Houseworth. Second team picks were Jacob Pegura, Jacob Walker and Cooper Collins.

Defensively, first-team picks were Logan McColley, Connor Ostrander, Jacob Edwards, Mikel and Isaiyah Swartz. A.J. Obren was named to the second team. McColley was selected as the captain of the defensive unit.

Edwardsburg also had Steven Anders, Brenden Seabolt and Patrick Szlanfucht named to the honorable mention portion of the squad.

Dowagiac had a pair of players — Vicente Madison and Brayan Parades — earn honorable mention all-conference.
