Sandpoint High junior athlete Brock Yarbrough and Priest River High offensive and defensive lineman Brady Hatten highlighted the 5A and 3A All-State high school football teams, respectively, as the honorees were announced recently by The Idaho Statesman newspaper of Boise.

Yarbrough, who received three honors in total, was named to the First Team as both a wide receiver and linebacker and garnered Second Team honors as a kicker for helping lead Sandpoint back to the state quarterfinals and to a record of 8-3 on the season. Also receiving accolades among the 5A ranks were Sandpoint High senior running back Jensen Sheetz and senior wide receiver Maverick Gomez, both of whom were named to the Second Team.

Hatten, who helped the Spartans to their first league title since 1957, to the 3A state quarterfinals, and to a record of 5-5, was named to the First Team as an offensive lineman and to the Second Team as a defensive lineman. Priest River's Layton Goins was one of two sophomores to receive First Team honors for his efforts as a wide receiver this season.

In 4A, Bonners Ferry High senior running back Keenan Maas was named to the First Team and senior linebacker Conrad Hiatt was named to the Second Team after they led the Badgers back to a league title, the state playoffs, and to a record of 7-3.
