East Knox senior Caleb Gallwitz highlights Watch the D-VI Offensive POY in action against Danville.
The Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association Division VI and VII football All-Ohio teams were announced Sunday by a statewide media panel.
The
teams were selected by OPSWA members, most of whom were voters for the former Associated Press
All-Ohio teams. The Associated Press no longer coordinates postseason
honors for high school sports.
On Monday, the
Division IV and V All-Ohio teams will be announced, followed by the
Division II and III teams on Tuesday. The Division I All-Ohio team and
the Ohio Mr. Football Award will be announced Wednesday.
