Teams listed alphabetically:

Bainbridge-Guilford

Brad Hurlburt, sr., Linebacker, 5-foot-9, 170 pounds

A question mark coming into this season, Hurlburt transformed his game and made huge strides at fullback and linebacker. “He was very physical and had a breakout season for us,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “He came in stronger and bigger, and met the challenges. We got everything out of him that we were hoping for.”

Dustin Ross, sr., running back, 5-foot-8, 165 pounds

Ross is one of only two B-G running backs with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, matching Eric Finch, who accomplished that feat a decade ago. Needing a big game in the finale against Seton Catholic Central to break the milestone, Ross had 136 yards to finish with 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns. “He created a lot of running lanes for himself, and any time he carried the ball, it had to scare defensive coordinators,” Mattingly said. “He had the ability to break it at any time.” Seven of Ross’ touchdowns went for 46 yards or more.

Ethan Mazzarella 5-9, sr.165 pounds

The B-G senior was considered the pound-for-pound toughest interior lineman – offensively and defensively – on the Bobcats this season. “When he blocked, he put everything he had into it,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “His motor just ran, and he created havoc for other team’s offenses. He set everything up for our linebackers.”
