Nov. 25—Ashland junior Aariq Shadoan was the lone Grizzly to earn first-team all-conference honors during recent voting by the Class 4A Big Sky Conference football coaches.

Shadoan averaged 29.6 yards per punt for Ashland to share first-team recognition at punter with Marshfield senior Kavan Robinson.

The Grizzlies were able to nab a couple second-team honors from a pair of juniors in running back Gavin White and receiver Crosby Lehnerz.

White carried 108 times for 513 yards and seven touchdowns and also pulled in 35 passes for 457 yards and six scores this past season for Ashland.

Lehnerz was Ashland's second-leading receiver with 39 catches for 414 yards and three TDs.

Quarterbacks Tyson Van Gastel of Mazama and Shaw Stork of Henley shared offensive player of the year acclaim for the Big Sky, while Mazama's Trevor Anderson was the defensive player of the year and Vic Lease was named Big Sky coach of the year by his peers.
