Senior each from Harbor Creek, Seneca named to all-state football teams

Two players from Erie County high schools were selected to the 2022 Pennsylvania Football Writers' Class 1A-3A All-State Teams.

Harbor Creek senior Nick Krahe was selected as a Class 3A offensive lineman and Seneca senior Ryan Miller was named as a Class 2A linebacker.

Krahe, a 6-foot 5-inch 290-pound lineman who will play for Division I West Virginia after graduation, said he was grateful to make all-state.

"A lot of hard work is definitely starting to pay off. I'm just really excited," he said. "I still have to finish out my senior year, and I have the rest of basketball season and then track. Then I'm hitting the weight room and I'm really looking forward to (playing at West Virginia)."

Miller, a 6-foot, 190-pound leader on both sides of the ball, was also a standout running back for Seneca, which earned its first-ever playoff win this past season.

The Bobcats beat Northwestern 46-13 in a District 10 2A quarterfinal and then lost to Farrell 48-6. They went 9-3 overall.

Miller is the second 3,000-yard career rusher in Seneca history. He shattered the school's single-season record with 2,288 yards as the first 2,000-yard rusher in program history.

On defense, Miller was credited with 125 tackles according to maxpreps.com.

Thursday's announcement was especially satisfying for Miller, given his varsity background.

Seneca went 0-17 over his freshman and sophomore seasons. The Bobcats won twice in 2021, but Miller couldn't even fully enjoy the end of that mammoth losing streak because of a broken leg.

Miller also played for three different head coaches over that span. Jack Corey held that role this past season.

"I've said this a million times, but going through three coaching changes in four years would be hard on anybody," Miller said. "The injuries and battling low (roster) numbers that Seneca had to go through the past couple years also was extremely hard, so having this honor now is just amazing. It could help me play at the next level, so I couldn't be more grateful."

In total, 13 District 10 players were named to the small school/Class 1A-3A teams.

Class 4A-6A all-state: Cathedral Prep trio, McDowell pair make all-state football teams; Meadville RB also picked

In Class 1A, Reynolds had three senior players selected in running back Jalen Wagner, wide receiver Haydin McLaughlin and offensive lineman Nate Leksell. Lakeview junior Mitchell Tingley was named as an all-state athlete on defense.

In Class 2A, along with Miller, Farrell had three seniors picked and Sharpsville had two offensive standouts. Farrell offensive lineman Anthony Jackson, offensive athlete Kylon Wilson and defensive lineman Malachi Owens were selected. For Sharpsville, senior wide receiver Garen Levis and junior Caullin Summers (athlete) made all-state.

Besides Krahe in 3A, Oil City had a pair of players picked in record-setting junior running back Ethen Knox and senior offensive lineman Cam Crocker.
