HUMBOLDT — A number of Humboldt High football players were named to the 2A All-District First and Second Teams as well as some Honorable Mentions.
Trey Sommer earned the District Defensive MVP for the second year in a row along with being named a First Team offensive player for his play at running back this season.
Sommer led the Cubs with 166.5 rushing yards per game, 30 touchdowns, 29 rushing touchdowns and a QBR rating of 121.1.
Humboldt wide receiver Sam Hull and offensive linemen Maddox Johnson and River Kaufman were also named to the All-District First Team. Sommer, Johnson and Kaufman all received First Team honors last season as well and were All-District players in their sophomore years.
“All three played major roles for our team over the last few years and were key cogs in us being able to have the season we did,” said Humboldt head coach Logan Wyrick. “They are not only some of our key contributors, but also some of our hardest workers in the weight room and in the off-season.”
Hull led Humboldt offensively with 51.3 receiving yards per game and seven touchdown receptions.
Cubs running back Cole Mathes, offensive lineman William Kobold, defensive lineman Garren Goodner and defensive backs Jacob Harrington and Hull were tabbed All-District Second Team honorees.
“These players, as well as the majority of the team, have been a big reason why we’ve been able to maintain a solid core and then be able to capitalize on years like this and make extra strides like the regional championship win this year,” Wyrick said.
Mathes ran for 50.4 rushing yards per game, registered five touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns.
Humboldt receiver Dakota Slocum, offensive lineman Goodner, linebacker Kyle Isbell and punter Sommer were each named All-District Honorable Mentions.
“This was one of the more enjoyable years I’ve probably had as a head coach,” said Wyrick “Each year it’s a different group with different personalities and agendas. But this was one of the best groups I’ve had from the start of workouts in June, to having fun even on some cold and rainy days. It wasn’t a season that you wanted to see end.”
Slocum averaged 24.5 receiving yards per game and caught two touchdown passes.
