Penn-Trafford’s size up front was a strength this season and opposing coaches recognized that group favorably when voting for the all-conference team.

The Warriors, who led the Big East with seven first-team spots, had four linemen chosen: center Joe Enick, guard Mike Paterra, offensive tackle Zach Tomosovich and defensive end Conlan Greene. The team reached the WPIAL quarterfinals this season, a year after winning the state title.

Conference co-champion Franklin Regional and Gateway received six spots each.

Franklin Regional wide receiver/defensive back Ayden Hudock received honors for offense and defense, and Lance Getsy was name the conference’s top coach. Gateway’s selections included two-way lineman Matt Brooks and wide receiver/defensive back Dallas Harper.
