The Hobart Statesmen earned 20+ All-Conference awards including SR DE Tyre Coleman getting his third straight Defensive Player of the Year recognition from the LL Coaches. In a rare but deserving nod, SR OL Ali Marpet was named Co-Offensive Player of the Year. He will probably the only OL named as a POTY award winner by any conference in D3 (which is a shame because OL deserve these as much as any QB or RB). Marpet shared the POTY award with SR QB Mike Lefflbine of Saint Lawrence (8-2).
Head Coach Mike Cragg and his staff won the Coaching award for their third consecutive undefeated regular season and fourth straight conference title. A link to the All-LL teams can be found here.
Speaking of Marpet, it was announced he accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine All Star Game on twitter today. St Pete isn't far from me so I am going to have to make some plans to drive down I-4 to see Ali in action. The game is scheduled for Jan. 17, 2015.
In the meantime, Hobart's focus remains on #6/7 Johns Hopkins (11-0). I'll post my NCAA Rd 2 Game Preview tomorrow.
Congratulations to these great Statesmen and go 'Bart!
