Huh, Joe Germ named d3football.com offensive player of the year for the East region.
I think the LL Coaches have a better idea on who had the most impact , especially in critical games and that was Double I. The Germ is very talented , and his outstanding performance in the Hobart game makes me glad he won't be back next year. So, I counted 15 LL players on the ALL Region, with 5 for Ithaca(1 returning ), 5 for Union (4 returning) , 4 for Hobart(ALL RETURNING) and 1 for St. Lawrence(returning)....10 out of 15 returning should keep the LL competitive.
It’s pretty cool that both Union and Hobart have so many all-region players returning. Of the Union 5, 2 are juniors and 2 are sophomores. (Plus you have Ross as a SO.). Indeed, Union returns everyone on offense next year except for Beal. (He’ll be missed, but with the emergence of FR WR Finn Duran as another weapon at the end of this year, they’ll be fine.). Only about half the defense returns, but Union has made good strides in depth there in recent years, so I wouldn’t expect too much of a step backward. (Indeed, I’m hoping the secondary, which was the weak point, can take a step up.)
And Bartman, I’m very high on Hobart going into next year. This year, they reminded me a lot of Union last year - lots of talent but green, and figuring it as the year went on.
Finally, on all-region coach, I’m obviously a Behrman fan. 11-1 with an NCAA victory is pretty good for a team picked to finish fourth in the LL.
