Rapid River's Jake Pearson was the Small Schools' Offensive Player of the Year, while North Central's Eric Prestay was the Small Schools' Defensive Player of the Year.
And Escanaba's Cam Beversluis and Bailey Lamb were Dream Team selections in the Large Schools balloting. Escanaba's Travis Heller made the Large Schools All-U.P. Team at quarterback, and Eskymo senior Steve Wood made it as a defensive lineman.
Gladstone may have went 0-9 on the field this season, but senior Riley Ballard was recognized by the region's media members as a Large Schools All-U.P. return specialist, and Braves lineman Chris Richer was also honored on that All-U.P. team.
In the Small Schools division, Pearson got top honors on offense, but so too did center Hayden Hardwick, who was pick All-U.P. for a second straight year. North Central's Josh Granquist (running back) and Andy Estrada (end) also got All-U.P. honors.
On the defensive side of the ball, Bark River-Harris senior Kyle Kleiman was picked All-U.P. as a defensive tackle. NCA's Travis Vincent (defensive end) and Rob Granquist (defensive back) also got All-U.P. honors.
