DES MOINES – The rewards for successful football seasons were reaped after the Iowa Newspaper Association revealed its all–state football teams Tuesday morning.

Seven area players earned a spot on the all-state teams in their respective classes.

Five AGWSR players were honored in Class A, highlighted by first-teamer Derek Schipper, a lineman; Hampton-Dumont defensive player Kendrick Suntken earned a spot on the 2A third team and Spencer Halloran of West Fork returned to the all-state ranks as a second-team defensive back in 1A.

Scoring a 9-2 record, arguably the best in years, the Cougars also landed four on the second team, including Austin Heitland at tight end, Clay Meinders at linebacker, defensive lineman Trevor Bakker and freshman punter Nathan Karsjens.
