All-state teams for all three states involving teams within the SCJ coverage area have been released.
The Journal area had two state title winners in West Lyon, champions of Iowa's Class 2A, and Remsen St. Mary's, which won Iowa's 8-Player division.
Further, the Iowa Football Coaches' Association named Remsen St. Mary's Landon Waldschmitt the captain of the 8-Player all-state team, and named Spirit Lake's Dylan Stecker captain of the Class 2A all-state squad after the Indians finished as runner-up in 2A.
Waldschmitt gained over 1,100 yards rushing and tallied over 1,300 yards passing with 56 total touchdowns, plus recorded 56 tackles on defense.
Stecker was the favorite target of Spirit Lake quarterback Caden Lundt as Stecker hauled in 59 catches for over 1,200 yards and 19 receving touchdowns.
