Morris County football coaches recognize season's best offensive, defensive players
The Morris County Football Coaches Association recognized at least one player from each team at its annual luncheon on Thursday.
West Morris running back Stefano Montella was named the John Chirrona Offensive Player of the Year.

Montella also had a team-high 141 total tackles (19 for loss) and seven sacks.
Morristown linebacker Trey Buchner was selected as the Pete Piccirillo Defensive Player of the Year, the award given to Montella last fall. He finished with 158 total tackles, 7½ for losses, and three sacks as the Colonials went 3-7.
Delbarton outside linebacker Jack Eisenhardt is the Gerry Gallagher Special Teams Player of the Year, an award named for the Green Wave's special teams coach. Eisenhardt averaged 38.3 yards per punt. He also had 58 total tackles, three for loss, and two interceptions.
