DeKalb senior unanimous pick
District 15-2A coaches should be glad Terrance Ganaway won’t be around to terrorize their teams next year.
The coaches bid farewell to DeKalb’s outstanding running back/quarterback by unanimously naming him the Most Valuable Player on the 2006 all-district team. It was the second consecutive year the honor went to Ganaway.
Clarksville picked up two unanimous superlative awards. Senior running back Jonathan Larkin was named the offensive MVP and sophomore Tracy Morgan the defensive MVP. DeKalb’s staff share the Coach of the Year award, and freshmen Hudson Milford of Honey Grove and Holden Jenkins of Cooper are co-Newcomers of the Year.
District champion DeKalb had nine athletes named to the first team, two of them both ways. Senior Demontrae Coleman and junior Rodney Payne were unanimous choices on both offense and defense. Coleman was named at running back and in the defensive line and Payne in both lines.
Other offensive first-team selections for the Bears were lineman Michael Davis and running back Blake Hill (unanimous) and sophomore kicker Nick LaToof. Senior end Tyler Anderson, senior linebacker Jeren Brewer and junior defensive back Cody Powell were all unanimous selections on defense.
Clarksville, which finished second to the Bears in the league race, had four first-team selections, including senior Jeremy Stafford, who was selected at wide receiver on offense and at defensive back, where he was unanimous. Senior quarterback Shamond Richardson and linemen Isaac Cunningham, a senior, and Velaris Ricks, a junior, were offensive first teamers.
Seniors Cameron Maxam and Xavier Akins of Honey Grove, Cole Hignight of Prairiland and Michael Peru and Kodi Hoskins of Paris Chisum also made the first team on offense and defense.
