For his efforts in helping lead Lafayette’s football team to its first regional final since 2007, Rams’ two-way standout Schekel Wallace has been named the 3A East Region Defensive Player of the Year.
Wallace finished with 87 tackles and three sacks at linebacker on a defense that was the best in the Bay Rivers District this season. He also rushed for more than 900 yards and 14 touchdowns as the Rams’ fullback.
Wallace’s teammate, Jahlil Green, also earned first team distinction as both a running back and defensive back. The duo were joined by fellow teammates Tyler New (OL), Coleman Goad (OL) and Blake Guminsky (LB) on the all-region first team.
Matt Hummell (All) Darren Patton (LB) and Brandon Villanueva-Pernell (WR) also represented Lafayette on the all-region second team along with fellow Bay Rivers District standouts Grayson Boyce (RB/Poquoson), Riley Howell (OL/Poquoson), Devonte Dedmon (All/Warhill), Darius Reynolds (DL/York), Hunter Southall (DL/Poquoson) and Marcus Wakelyn (LB/York).
Below is the entire All-3A East Region football team:
Co-Offensive Player of the Year: Tabyus Taylor (Hopewell) and Jay Scroggins (James Monroe)
Defensive Player of the Year: Schekel Wallace (Lafayette)
Co-Coach of the Year: Daniel McGrath (Loudoun Valley) and Rick Serbay (James Monroe)
