defense
DL – Francisco Hall, Coatesville, Jr.
Holes were aligned inside and out, and were always in the opponent’s backfield, as was the destructive power in this area.
DL – John Pardo, Kennett.
A star on both sides, Pardo continued to disrupt midfield with his quickness and power.
DL – Drew Merschel, Conestoga, Sr.
Named Conestoga’s defensive MVP and named to the Central League’s top team, Marschell was a midfield threat.
DL – Colin McHugh, Malvern Prep, Sr.
Virtually no one could match the Flyers, and McHugh, as the dominant defensive edge, was a big reason for that.

Always willing to fire his tall frame into the ball carrier, Pegg has two Pick 6s and multiple Division 1 offers.

LB – Mitch Ragni, West Chester East, Sr.
An injured hand limited him somewhat on offense, but on defense Ragni burst out with a fast downhill pace.
DB – Mike Waite, Downingtown East, Sr.
A safe and three-year starter, Waits was the quintessential leader in the stingy Cougars’ defense.
DB – Amir Haskett, Coatesville, Jr.
Huskett, who doubles as a wide receiver and playmaker, was one of the physical tacklers from the cornerback spot.
