Listed at 6 feet 5 inches tall, 280 pounds, Abouraya often led the way for Horvath, during his record-breaking season.
OL – Peter Jones, Malvern Prep, Jr.
The Coatesville resident and Notre Dame University recruit is the next in line of a strong lineage of big men from Malvern.

The top-voted offensive lineman in the American Division was a source of stability on a young and trying team.

A touchback specialist with a season-long 45-yard field goal, Barker is headed to Happy Valley to kick for Penn State University.
Defense
DL – Francisco Hall, Coatesville, Jr.
As disruptive a force as there is in the area, Hall lined up inside and outside and was always in opponents’ backfields.
DL – John Pardo, Kennett, Jr.
A two-way star on the lines, Pardo continually created havoc in the middle with his quickness and power.
DL – Drew Merschel, Conestoga, Sr.
Voted Conestoga’s defensive MVP and first team in the Central League, Merschel was a menace in the middle.
DL – Colin McHugh, Malvern Prep, Sr.
Virtually no one could run against the Friars and McHugh was a big reason why, as a dominant defensive end.
LB – Hayden Pegg, Malvern Prep, Sr.
Was always willing to fire his tall frame into ballcarriers, Pegg had two pick-sixes and has multiple Division 1 offers.
LB – Bobby Mears, Malvern Prep, Sr.

LB – Sam Barton, Downingtown East, Sr.
A lacrosse star, as well, Barton was in the middle of the Cougars’ run to the District 1 semifinals as a magnet to the ball.
LB – Mitch Ragni, West Chester East, Sr.
An injured hand limited him some on offense, but defense is where Ragni popped, with a fast, downhill pace.
DB – Mike Waite, Downingtown East, Sr.
A three-year starter at safety, Waite was the prototypical leader on defense for the stingy Cougars.
DB – Amir Haskett, Coatesville, Jr.
Doubling as a playmaker at wide receiver, Haskett was one of the more physical tacklers from the cornerback spot.
DB – Daimon Jacobs, West Chester Rustin, Sr.
A fierce hitter who loves to play downhill, Jacobs became more of a ballhawk as a senior and also rushed for over 1,000 yards on offense.
DB – Andrew Pellicciotta, Malvern Prep, Soph.
A star in the making at Malvern, Pellicciotta made a name for himself with his versatility in the run and pass games.
