Columbian, Carey leads area schools in first-team district picks
A trio of Columbian seniors in Division III, plus two seniors each from Hopewell-Loudon and Carey in Division VI, rated first team Thursday when the All-Northwest District teams were released. Receiver Derek Kneeskern, defensive end Cody Krupp and linebacker Trey Tyree, all three-year starters for the Tornadoes, were among the top honorees in Division III. Hopewell-Loudon’s Aaron Kapelka (end) and Hudson Smith (linebacker) were named to the first-team defense, as was Carey’s cornerback Trevor Phoenix. The Blue Devils’ Cy Strahm (receiver, cornerback, kicker, return man) was named the top utility player, and Jared Case was a first-team offensive lineman. Kneeskern, an All-Ohio honoree last season who is receiving interest from Division I colleges, led the Tornadoes with 36 catches for 665 yards and a Northern Ohio League-best eight touchdowns. He also started at cornerback, handled all kicking duties and returned two kickoffs and a punt for touchdowns.
