The Reporter/Times Herald/Montgomery Media 2021 All-Area Football Teams

The North Penn and La Salle football teams both claim league championships and both have strong representation in the 2021 The Reporter/Times Herald/Montgomery Media Football All-Area First Team.

North Penn, which won the Suburban One League National Conference – its first conference title since 2018, has four selections to the first-team offense led by 2021 Athlete of the Year senior running back Khalani Eaton, who ran for 1,796 yards and 27 touchdowns as the Knights went 11-1.

Joining Eaton are teammates junior quarterback Ryan Zeltt, who threw for 1,842 and 24 touchdowns, senior wide receiver Levi Carroll (44 receptions for 840 yards and 12 touchdowns and senior offensive lineman Darren Miller.

Miller is part of a first team o-line that includes Pennridge senior Danny Fish, La Salle senior Ryan Carr, Archbishop Wood senior Mason Yacovelli and senior Quin Whalen of Central Bucks West.

Carr is one of six first-team picks from La Salle, who claimed their first Philadelphia Catholic League title since 2015 by winning the PCL Red Division. Senior Sam Brown, a Rutgers commit who was named PCL Red MVP, earned first-team honors at running back with senior Ryan Moore at wide receiver and senior kicker Santiago Sturla.

La Salle, which finished 9-2, had three more on the all-area first team defense with senior Abdul Carter, a Penn State commit, at linebacker, junior Darold Dengohe at defensive line and senior Amir Anderson at defensive back.

Carter heads a talented first-team linebacker corps that also consists of junior Phil Picciotti of Pennridge, Archbishop Wood senior John Pergine and Central Buck West senior Donte Mancini.

Wood had two more all-defense first team picks in senior Andrew McHugh at defensive back and junior Eric Gardner at line.

Upper Dublin junior Kyree Butler joins Dengohe and Gardner on d-line and was one of three Cardinals on the first team with junior DJ Cerisier at defensive back and senior Owen Carl at punter.

Cheltenham had a pair of first team selections with senior Matthew Hoffman at tight end and senior Kamden Wyatt at defensive back.
