Eddie Burgess was co-most valuable player on the District 4, Class 8 all-district team.
The announcement was made during the Sunday, Nov. 24 football awards dinner.
Burgess was also a second team all-state player on the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association all-state team for Class 8. (There is a separate story about that on this website).
Five Braves are on the all-district team. They are:
Burgess, sophomore quarterback and linebacker/defensive end;
Trey Shearer, junior wide receiver/defensive back;
Cole Watts, junior wide receiver/defensive back;
Brian Diaz, junior linebacker and offensive lineman;
Kennen Roadcap, freshman two-way down lineman.
BRAVE AWARDS
Diaz – Lunch Pail Award – “Goes to the guy that worked the hardest in the weight room, classroom and on the football field,” said Coach Pat O’Brien.
T.J. Townsend – Dog Pound Award – “For the best scout team player,” O’Brien said.
Connor Van Zee – Most Improved Award.
Watts – Best Teammate Award.
The Braves enjoyed a 6-3 record in just their second season of 8-man football. Montezuma will be playing in the 8-man class again next year.
