MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Spoofhound front seven was a new-look group this season with two new starting linebackers and four new defensive line starters. The one returner among that seven was senior outside linebacker Weston Tally.
The Spoofhound captain led the defense to a season where they held opponents to 18.7 points per game including a 34-0 shutout in the district championship game against Richmond.
He was rewarded last week by being named a First-Team All-State linebacker.
Senior Cannon Scarbrough was to the Spoofhound offensive line what Tally was to the front seven. With four new starters around him, Scarbrough led that group to a season where Sadler Viau ran for over 1,000 yards and Tally ran for over 500.
Scarbrough was named to the All-State Second Team.
Senior Ben Jaster was also a Second Team All-State selection as a defensive back. Jaster was a standout defensively all season and even stepped up into a running back role when Viau was injured.
The All-District team included: Lucas Ziegler, Jaster, Viau, Scarbrough, Tally, Brody Shepherd, Brett Long, Luke Allen, Kade Watkins and Jackson Dredge.
Nodaway Valley
Senior Cooper Snodderley topped the Thunder’s All-State selections with a Second-Team nod. The linebacker had 108 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and a pick-6.
Tyler Gray was a All-State Third Team selection at defensive end. The senior had 76 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception.
Junior Tye Hoyt was a Third-Team All-State receiver. He had 883 total yards and 14 total touchdowns.
The All-District team included: Gray, Hoyt, Snodderley, Braxton McGinness, Dylan Walker and Jax Cowden.

Senior Andy Mattson capped his Platte Valley career as a Third-Team All-State offensive lineman. Platte Valley ran for 267.8 yards per game this season.
The All-District team included: Ridge Clements, Lucky Ferry, Jayden Sturm, Dylan Klamm and Mattson.
