Local roundup
Four Jay County athletes were among those honored as The Associated Press All-State football teams were announced Thursday.
Seniors Justin Gilbert, Bill Spahr and Joseph Vormohr and junior Corey Comer were each earned honorable mention in Class 4A.
Gilbert ran for more than 1,400 yards this season, including a single-game school record of 308. Vormohr was a member of the offensive line which paved the way for Gilbert and fellow 1,000-yard rusher Steven Castillo.
Comer, a tight end, was the top receiver for the Patriots (7-4) this year, and Spahr earned the award for his work at defensive end.
Vormohr will also be honored by the Indianapolis Colts as an Indiana High School Football Academic All-Star. He and the other 23 honorees from the state will be recognized before the Colts’ Dec. 18 game against the San Diego Chargers.
