Aberdeen lineman JaBron Brooks earned two First Team honors as the 2A Evergreen Conference announced its all-league team this week.

The Bobcats junior was named to the First Team both as an offensive and defensive linemen.

“JaBron is a third-year starter and has been an anchor of both our lines during that time,” Aberdeen head coach Todd Bridge said. “Obviously, the other coaches in the league think as highly of him as we do.”

A handful of Bobcats were named to the league’s Second Team, including junior Aidan Watkins (running back) and sophomore Marcus Hale (tight end) on the offensive side.

Aberdeen junior Paul Baltazar (defensive line) and seniors Trey Anderson (linebacker) and Kale Goings (defensive back) were named Second Team defense.
