Two members of the Meyersdale Area team that led the Red Raiders to a District 5 title for the first time in nearly two decades and a Northern Cambria linebacker with eye-popping stats highlighted the Pennsylvania Sports Writers’ Class 1A all-state squad Tuesday morning. 

Meyersdale senior Lance Jones was named as a defensive athlete and senior Trey Bolyard earned a spot on the defensive line. Northern Cambria junior linebacker Zak Kirsch was the third representative on the team.
