Shelby County’s finest earned their place among the state’s best as the Alabama Sports Writers Association released its 2024 All-State football teams.

In all, 21 players from nine area schools secured a selection to the All-State First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention list for their respective classifications, including the Thompson Warriors, Oak Mountain Eagles, Calera Eagles, Chelsea Hornets, Helena Huskies, Spain Park Jaguars, Briarwood Christian Lions, Shelby County Wildcats and Vincent Yellow Jackets.

The media also released its Coach of the Year winners, and Spain Park coach Tim Vakakes earned top honors as the Class 6A Coach of the Year.

Vakakes was also named one of the Shelby County Coaches of the Year after securing the first undefeated regular season in program history and winning a playoff game for the first time since 2015. That was part of a three-year turnaround after Vakakes took over in 2022 after a 2-8 2021 campaign.

Thompson led the way with eight All-State selections, including quarterback Trent Seaborn, offensive lineman Barron Criddle, defensive lineman Jared Smith, defensive back Anquon Fegans and punter John Alan McGuire earning Class 7A First Team honors.

Defensive lineman Cam Pritchett was selected to the Class 7A Second Team and running back Mike Dujon and offensive lineman AJ Williams earned Honorable Mentions.

Seaborn earned an All-County Second Team selection with 2,672 yards and 26 touchdowns. Fegans, Smith and McGuire each earned spots on the All-County First Team after the Shelby County Player of the Year Fegans led the county with six interceptions, Smith secured a county-high 8.5 sacks and McGuire averaged 44.2 yards per punt.

Pritchett also was an All-County First Team player after ending the year with 77 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and four sacks. Dujon earned an All-County Second Team selection with his 1,090 yards and 16 touchdowns.

In addition to Vakakes’ Coach of the Year honor, Spain Park earned three All-State selections as wide receiver Corey Barber was selected to the Class 6A First Team, linebacker EJ Kerley made the 6A Second Team and quarterback Brock Bradley was a 6A Honorable Mention.

Barber, Kerley and Bradley were all All-County First Team selections as Barber led the county with 1,429 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns, Kerley earned the second-most tackles in the county with 140 and Bradley ended the year with 2,667 yards and 32 touchdowns.

Vincent linebacker Grayson Gulde made his second-straight appearance on the Class 2A First Team after he finished the year with 202 tackles, three sacks and three turnovers, earning another All-County First Team spot in the process.

Oak Mountain secured two Class 7A Second Team selections for wide receiver Zach Fitzgerald and offensive lineman Bradley Hazlip.

Fitzgerald ended the year with 904 receiving yards and five touchdowns to earn an All-County First Team spot, and Hazlip was an All-County Second Team selection after leading the Eagles in pancake blocks.

Chelsea’s Chase Stracener earned a Class 6A Second Team selection after the All-County First Team running back went for 1,601 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024.

Helena senior Austin Lewis was selected to the Class 6A Second Team as a punter after he averaged 40.6 yards per punt. The Huskies star was also a kicker on the All-County First Team and North All-Stars thanks to his perfect 6-for-6 mark on field goals and 38-for-39 record on extra points.

In Class 5A, Briarwood secured two selections as running back Luke Reynolds was named to the Second Team and defensive tackle Garrett Witherington earned an Honorable Mention after both made the All-County Second Team.

Reynolds racked up 766 yards and 16 touchdowns in just seven games and Witherington ended the year with 55 tackles, four sacks and 19 quarterback pressures as an interior lineman.

Calera wide receiver KD Young rounded out the Class 6A selections with an Honorable Mention. Young was a dynamic force for the Eagles with 526 receiving yards and three touchdowns and 464 kickoff return yards.

Shelby County’s star running back Anthony Palmieri earned a Class 5A Honorable Mention after earning a county-high 1,846 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns to power the Wildcats into the playoffs and make the All-County First Team.

In addition, a Shelby County native earned one of the state’s top honors as Montgomery Catholic head coach Kirk Johnson won the Class 5A Coach of the Year award.

The Columbiana native and Cornerstone alumnus won his second-straight state championship with the Knights, this time in a new classification in Class 5A while beating former Chelsea star Jake Ganus and his Moody Blue Devils in the state championship game.

The ASWA will announce Back of the Year and Lineman of the Year finalists on Dec. 25 and hold its annual awards luncheon on Tuesday, Jan. 28 in Montgomery.
