Old Mill running back Rob Chesson was named Offensive Player of the Year and River Hill coach Brian Van Deusen shared Coach of the Year honors as the 20th annual Consensus All-State football team was announced Thursday.
Chesson, who set a state record for most touchdowns in a season with 49 and led the Patriots to the state Class 4A championship, took top honors on offense while Good Counsel defensive back Stefon Diggs was named the Defensive Player of the Year.
Van Deusen, who rallied his team from a 2-2 start to the state Class 3A title, shared Coach of the Year honors with Good Counsel's Bob Milloy, who led his team to an unbeaten season and the No. 1 ranking in the state.
Five players repeated as all-state selections: Gilman's Cyrus Jones and Brian Gaia, Dunbar's Deon-Tay McManus, Urbana's Colton Kmetz and Diggs.
The team, which is voted on by high school football writers and compiled by ESPNHS's Sheldon Shealer, includes players from big and small schools. The big school and small school teams were announced earlier this week.
