Local football players named all-state
Saturday, December 22, 2012
SEATTLE — Max Browne has one more accomplishment for his resume before heading off to USC.
Skyline’s star quarterback has been voted The Associated Press Washington state player of the year for all classifications. Voting was organized by the Yakima Herald-Republic and done by sports writers around the state. Results were announced by the AP on Friday.
Wenatchee running back Isaiah Brandt-Sims was a first-team 4A selection, along with Panthers offensive lineman Cody O’Connell and Eastmont defensive back Trenton Osborn.
Offensive lineman Jake Laird of Ephrata was a second-team 2A pick. Cashmere’s Moe Roberts was selected to the 1A second team as a running back and defensive back.
Browne was already named the Gatorade national player of the year and USA Today’s offensive player of the year. Browne threw for 4,526 yards and 49 touchdowns in leading the Spartans to their second straight Class 4A state title.
For his career, Browne finished with 12,951 yards passing, setting a new state record. He’s was also the AP state player of the year as a junior and the second Skyline quarterback to be a two-time state player of the year joining Jake Heaps who won the award in 2008 and ‘09.
It’s the fifth straight year a Skyline player has been voted the AP state player of the year.
Other players of the year for their classifications include: Bellevue’s Myles Jack (Class 3A), Lynden’s Josh Kraght (Class 2A), Royal’s Alex Myrick (Class 1A), Dylan Hartz of Lind-Ritzville/Sprague (Class 2B) and Mike Olson of Liberty Christian (Class 1B).
Jack, Kraght, Hartz and Olson all helped lead their teams to state championships this season.
Jack, headed for UCLA next fall, was the anchor of Bellevue’s defense. Kraght was a three-time player of the year in the Northwest 3A/2A Conference, while Myrick helped Royal reach the state title game on the strength of his 55 combined touchdowns passing and running.
