York senior defensive end Darius Reynolds was named Group 3A East Co-Defensive Player of the Year on Monday with Hopewell defensive back Ronnie Moore.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pound defensive lineman posted a team-high 79 tackles and 21 tackles for loss, while recording 8.5 sacks, which was second for York.

“It was a well-deserved award. He’s one of the most dominant defensive players we’ve seen here in awhile,” York Coach Doug Pereira said of Reynolds. “His speed combined with power — he’s just so fast off the snap, but he’s also strong. Those two things really work in his favor.”

In addition to Reynolds earning top honors, York offensive lineman Lee Green was also named a first-team selection. A 6-foot-1, 350-pound blocker, Green finally found his form this season and became one of the best linemen in the region.

Two York players also earned second-team All-Region honors. Wide receiver Luke Gilbert and running back Devin Campbell were named second-team offensive selections, while Campbell also earned second-team defensive honors as a punt returner.
