The Steel Valley football team was rewarded after winning a second WPIAL title in three years, as two Ironmen were selected to the Class 2A Pennsylvania Football Writers all-state team Thursday.
Senior Kam Williams was picked as a running back, and senior Todd Hill earned a second all-state selection at linebacker.
Williams ran for 2,020 yards and 22 touchdowns on 234 carries and also added 23 catches for 404 yards.

He completed 40 of 75 passes for 1,275 yards and 16 touchdowns and ran for 1,049 yards and 19 scores.
Ligonier Valley senior quarterback John Caldwell and senior wide receiver Aaron Tutino also were picked to the all-state team.
