10 Centre County football players are named All-State
Ten football players from Centre County high schools were named All-State Thursday as the teams from Class 6A, 4A and 2A were released. All-State teams from the remaining classes will be named Friday.
Penns Valley had three players chosen in 2A, Bellefonte had one selection in 4A, and State College totaled 6 in Class 6A.
Quarterback Aaron Tobias, tight end Logan Snyder and offensive athlete Ryan Ripka were named from Penns Valley, while defensive lineman Caleb Rockey was selected All-State from Bellefonte.
The State College players selected include quarterback Tommy Friberg, offensive lineman Ramsey Kifolo, offensive athlete Dresyn Green, defensive backs Keaton Ellis and Sammy Knipe and defensive athlete Cohen Russell.
Since 2009, sports writers who cover high school football around the Commonwealth have overseen the all-state process. Players are nominated in all six classifications, and then a statewide ballot is issued to afford all writers the opportunity to cast their votes.
