ALL-STATE FOOTBALL TEAM: Dixon, Green, Guthrie, Ray snag 1st-team honors; Seven other locals also recognized
Published 11:00 pm Saturday, December 22, 2018
- Addison's Hayden Ray: Class 2A First-Team Offensive Lineman.
Christmas arrived earlier than usual for a number of local gridiron standouts.
The Alabama Sports Writers Association released its 2018 All-State Football Team late Saturday night and, as has become the norm in recent years, Cullman County and the surrounding area were left with a sizable stack of goodies to sort through.
Zayne Guthrie (Addison), Hayden Ray (Addison), Matt Dixon (Good Hope) and Isaiah Green (Good Hope) unwrapped first-team gifts, while Luke Chambers (Addison), Preston Bagwell (Good Hope), Jackson Hancock (Good Hope) and Hunter Persall (West Point) tore open second-team presents.
Jayden Sullins (Cullman), Dayne Black (Fairview) and Walter Perez (Good Hope) were honorable mentions.
The All-State Football Team was picked by the ASWA’s prep committee, which chooses from list of dynamic nominees spanning seven classifications across the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA).
The Alabama Independent School Association (AISA) is also a part of the annual selection process.
Finalists for Back and Lineman of the Year will be unveiled late Dec. 29 online and early Jan. 2 in print.
Guthrie earned a first-team spot as a Class 2A athlete following a superb senior campaign.
The two-way standout threw for 926 yards and seven touchdowns, ran for 1,207 yards and 19 touchdowns, and secured 54 tackles — six for loss — and an interception on defense for Addison.
Guthrie, a first-team athlete in 1A last season, also hauled in a 10-yard touchdown pass.
“Zayne was just a really good athlete,” Addison coach David Smothers said. “It made it easy to do some things because of his abilities. I’m not sure he ever was as good as he could have been, but we were certainly pleased with him this year. We felt like he focused more. We are tickled to death to have had him for the past few years. He was pretty good at everything he did for us.”
Ray upgraded from a second-team offensive lineman in 1A last season to first-teamer in 2A this time around.
The three-year starter at center made all the calls and checks for Addison at the line of scrimmage and was a model of consistency for the Bulldogs throughout his prep career, which ended this fall.
“He was a very, very solid lineman,” Smothers said. “We maybe had three or four quarterback exchange issues in all three years Hayden was at center. He’s the smartest lineman I’ve had in a long time as far as being able to do all the stuff he did for us — the checks, the blocking schemes. We were able to do some things we might not have been able to do because of his ability to make adjustments for us.”
Dixon, who grabbed All-County Overall MVP honors earlier this month, was named a first-team athlete in 4A.
The senior racked up 1,288 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns to go along with 20 catches for 380 yards and another five touchdowns. He also compiled 54 tackles — six for loss — eight pass breakups and an interception on the defensive side for the ball for the Raiders.
He accomplished all that despite not playing in the fourth quarter of six games this season.
“Just about everybody that I talked to … other coaches who saw him on film … the number one thing they told me, and what we already knew, is that Matt’s a football player,” Good Hope coach Alan Scott said. “No matter where you put him on the field, he’s a difference-maker. He could catch the ball out of the backfield. When you put him on defense, he could play defensive back or linebacker. I feel confident we could have put his hand in the ground (on the defensive line). He also helped us on onside kicks. Matt just had fun out there. He enjoyed the game, and it was evident.”
Green, the All-County Defensive MVP, turned in an impressive senior season of his own.
He registered 65 tackles — 20 for loss — 13 sacks and seven quarterback pressures for a defense that yielded just 16 points per contest.
For his efforts, Green claimed first-team accolades as a 4A defensive lineman.
“Playing defensive end in today’s game is a fairly difficult position, because the quarterback a lot of times in the scheme is going to read you,” Scott said. “Each and every week, Isaiah was able to play his position really well. You could tell it was frustrating for the opponent to get a read on him. He had a feel for making plays. You can coach a guy to do a certain thing but, in the end, he has to make it happen. Isaiah was able to do that. The big thing for him is that he had a burning desire to tackle the ball carrier and see him on the ground.”
Chambers recorded 57 tackles — two for loss — and four interceptions during his junior season to come away with second-team honors as a 2A defensive back.
Bagwell, a senior, snagged a spot as a second-team defensive back in 4A after racking up 37 tackles, 20 pass breakups and five interceptions.
Hancock joined his teammate as a 4A second-teamer (offensive line) after anchoring a unit that paved the way for an offense which rushed for 3,337 yards and 42 touchdowns. The senior guard graded out at 88 percent.
Persall, a first-team running back in 5A last season, earned second-team recognition as a 5A athlete following his senior campaign with the Warriors.
He rushed for 1,080 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also had 244 receiving yards (one touchdown) and 436 return yards.
Sullins accumulated 370 rushing yards, 699 receiving yards and 177 return yards for the Bearcats this season.
The junior also accounted for 11 touchdowns en route to being named a 6A honorable mention athlete.
Black wrapped up his prep career with the Aggies by rushing for 1,092 yards and 16 touchdowns.
He also threw for 596 yards and a touchdown, and tallied 65 tackles — five for loss — a sack and an interception on defense en route to landing a spot as a 4A honorable mention athlete.
Perez — a 4A honorable mention kicker — was 33 of 41 on extra points and 3 of 4 on field goals as a sophomore this season for the Raiders.
