The Colonial League Football Coaches Association All-League team was released recently.

This year’s top honorees were offensive co-MVPs Cade Christopher (Northwestern) and Matt Michalik (Palmerton) and defensive MVP Chad Beller (Catasauqua).

Northern Lehigh players dominated the defense, as six Bulldogs earned first-team selections.

The league should be in good shape next season as 14 of this year’s 30 first-team selections are juniors, including Beller and Michalik, while the other 16 are seniors.

Catty’s Christian Fye was named first team offense as a kicker and he was also the Rough Riders QB this past season.

Along with Beller, Wyatt Younes was named to the first team defense as a defensive back. Younes was also named to the second team offense as a wide receiver.

Anthonie Hunsicker was named to the second team defense at the tackle position.

On the third team offense, as a tackle, was Javier Sobrado while Ian Juica made it as a wide receiver. Hunsicker was named as a third team running back.

Also on third team defense was Miles Melendez as a nose tackle and Sobrado as an end.

In all, seven different Catasauqua players were named to the teams.
