Offensive guard Andre Douthit, defensive lineman Robert King and safety Tanner Glore joined Bourbon as unanimous First Team choices for Potosi, along with Fredericktown tight end Ryan Gifford.
Two-way standout seniors Jake Gegg of Ste. Genevieve and Tyler Friend of Central were recognized twice on the First Team along with junior Garth Rogers and King of Potosi.
