Thompson had four players named to the 7A first team.
On the first team offense included Stanton Ramil, Peter Woods, Seth Hampton and Anquon Fegans

On the 7A All-State second team was Thompson’s AJ Green and Oak Mountain’s Garrett Murphy.

The junior running back totaled 1,453 yards and 17 touchdowns on 207 carries, including a 147-yard and two-touchdown performance in the state championship game.
A senior at Oak Mountain, Murphy totaled 112 solo tackles and 54 assists during his final season for the Eagles. He also totaled 12 tackles for loss, two sacks and three interceptions.
Chelsea’s Emmerson Russell and Oak Mountain’s Sawyer Smith were both recognized in the 7A honorable mentions.
After facing an injury that affected him for most of Russell’s junior season at Chelsea, the running back still managed to total 1,130 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground in addition to 175 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Banks-Mason totaled 103 solo tackles and an additional 34 assists. He also finished second in Shelby County with 25 tackles for loss and had six sacks with three interceptions.
During one of Pelham’s historic 2022 season, Miles was a crucial part of the Panther’s first-round playoff win since 2006. The defensive back finished his senior season with 63 tackles, three tackles for loss and four interceptions.
The Helena Huskies and Briarwood Lions also had a player named to the 6A honorable mentions with senior receiver Hunter Hale and junior defensive back Grey Reebals both earning a spot.

Briarwood’s Reebals totaled 87 tackles his junior season, while he also added six tackles for loss, three sacks, five pass breakups and two blocked kicks at the nickel position.
The Montevallo Bulldogs had one player earn a spot on the Class 4A All-State honorable mention list.
