Eight selected to all-state football team
Four first team, four second team.
2016 VISAA Division I All-State Team
The varsity football team placed eight players on the 2016 All-VISAA Division I team.
FIRST TEAM
WR Hayden Mitchell '17
- Finally had a full season to be healthy and took full advantage. Led the Richmond area in receiving yards, averaging an astounding 27 yards per catch.
- Final stat line - 49 catches, 1,345 yards (school record), 14 receiving TDs (school record); 15 punt returns, 262 yards
OL Henry Schroeder '18
- At 6-3, 270 pounds, Schroeder has turned himself into a Division I prospect, and had some impressive pancake blocks this season. Helped the Saints to the most prolific passing game in school history.
DB Will Forrest '18
- Arguably the hardest worker in the football program. Earned a spot as starter at safety and took full advantage.
- Final stat line - 14 tackles, 5 interceptions, 4 pass breakups
DL D.T. Badley '17
- Was a welcome sight after missing his entire junior year with a shoulder injury. At times unblockable.

SECOND TEAM
QB John Damgard '17

- Two-time All-Prep pick had his best season, catching 45 passes for 664 yards and 7 TDs. Averaged 74 yards per game. Also had a rush TD against Paul VI.
