A pair of Aberdeen Bobcats were named to the 2A Evergreen All-Conference First Team for the 2024 season.
Junior running back Micah Schroeder and junior offensive lineman Jayden Gladson both earned spots on the league’s First Team offense.
Schroeder emerged as one of the top ball carriers in the conference this past season, rushing for 869 yards on 160 carries – a 5.4 yards-per-carry average – and scoring 14 touchdowns on the ground.
Schroeder had four games of 100 rushing yards or more and also caught 13 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown this season.
Gladson was a big part of that as the offensive guard was an integral part of Schroeder’s success, often opening running lanes for Schroeder and the Bobcats skill players to run through.
