Three players from Ganado earn first-team all-state

Ganado was ranked No. 1 in the state for the first time in school history thanks in a large part to the efforts of Josh Labay, Cade Cihal and Trey Thedford.

Labay set a school record by rushing for 2,316 yards and 32 touchdowns, Cihal had a school-record 177 tackles, and Thedford led the team with seven interceptions.

The seniors' efforts were rewarded with their selection to the first team of the 61st Annual Collin Street Bakery/Texas Sports Writers Association Class 1A All-State Football Team released Tuesday.

Labay was chosen at running back, Cihal at linebacker and Thedford at defensive back.

"They're great high school kids and great high school football players," said Ganado coach Jimmy Thompson. "They were great for us. They're the kind of kids you love to be around."

Ganado senior Tyler Gorman was a third-team selection on the defensive line.

Earning honorable mention were Ganado's Case Silliman at tight end and on the defensive line, and Kenny Kocian at offensive guard.

Also earning honorable mention were Shiner's Derek Duke at offensive tackle and Jacob Stafford at linebacker, and Kenedy's Tristan Mejia at wide receiver.

Tenaha quarterback Reginald Davis was named the offensive player of the year and Mason defensive back Chance Stockbridge was named the defensive player of the year.

Kade Burns, who led Mason to the Division I state championship, was selected as the coach of the year.
