It was a rough campaign for the Waynesboro football team, but the Tribe played much better than their 2-8 season seems to indicate.
The coaches in the Mid-Penn Conference’s Keystone Division agreed with this sentiment, as they named five Waynesboro players to its All-Star team, including a trio of First Teamers in Christian Munday, Ryan Martin and Nick Carbaugh. Munday was also selected on the Second Team Defense, as was Steven Howard.
In all, the Local.News1 coverage area garnered 13 All-Star picks, including five from Chambersburg and three from Greencastle-Antrim.
Munday was Waynesboro’s go-to wide receiver this fall and he hauled in 37 catches for 755 yards and 10 TDs. Defensively, Munday piled up 67 tackles and broke up five passes from his safety position.
Martin, a punter, averaged 37.1 yards per punt this fall, with a long of 50 yards. Carbaugh had a strong freshman season as the Tribe’s kicker, converting 26 of 27 extra points and 2 of 3 field goals. As for Howard, no player in the Local.News1 area had more interceptions than the Waynesboro cornerback, who totaled seven, to go along with nine pass breakups.
Greencastle was represented on the Colonial Division All-Star team by Wyatt Hull (2nd Team Offense), Noah Shifflett (2nd Team Defense), and Blake Reuter (3rd Team Offense). Hull, a tight end, reeled in 18 catches for 336 yards and four TDs, while Reuter had a big season from his running back position, posting 1,083 rushing yards and 10 TDs on 140 carries.
Shifflett did a little of everything for the Blue Devils’ defense, with the linebacker posting team-highs in tackles (78) and sacks (3), while also recording one interception, two pass breakups, two caused fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Finally, Chambersburg landed five selections to the All-Commonwealth squad, including three players on the Second Team Defense: LB Isaiah Tasker, CB Cobe Penick, and P Devon Nalewak. Seth Gilliam, a defensive end, landed on the Third Team Defense, while wide receiver Davonte Scott was picked for the Third Team Offense after recording 692 receiving yards this fall.
