Easton\u2019s Sean McPeek makes a tackle against Bethlehem Catholic on Sept. 19, 2024, at BASD Stadium in Bethlehem. (Jonathan Broady\/Special to The Morning Call)<\/p>\nEastern Pennsylvania Conference football coaches had a lot of great options and tough decisions to make when it came to selecting the EPC\u2019s all-conference teams for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
When it came to the league\u2019s offensive MVP, they had several top-notch quarterbacks such as Bethlehem Catholic\u2019s Axel Burkart, Nazareth\u2019s Cooper Madson and Whitehall\u2019s Tanner Dogmanits to choose from along with star running backs in Northampton\u2019s Chase Kessler and Freedom\u2019s Lashawn Johnson and a extraordinary playmaker at wide receiver in Bethlehem Catholic\u2019s Carter Vassa.<\/p>\n
On the defensive side, there were also plenty of talented athletes that would have made excellent choices.<\/p>\n
In the end, the coaches chose Dogmanits as offensive MVP and Easton\u2019s Sean McPeek as the EPC\u2019s top defensive player.<\/p>\n
Dogmanits, a senior, enters Friday night\u2019s District 11 6A quarterfinal against Stroudsburg with 2,068 yards passing and 17 passing TDs. He also has run for 718 yards and nine TDs.<\/p>\n
McPeek, a senior who will play lacrosse at Lafayette, has 49 tackles, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries for an Easton team that will visit Freedom at 7 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
