MARYSVILLE – Two Marysville running backs made the All-State First Team in football, according to The Associated Press.

Senior running back  Austin Joyner of Marysville-Pilchuck and sophomore standout Collin Montez of Marysville Getchell received the honors.

A third Marysville running back, senior Killian Page, also of M-P, was named to the second team.

The all-state selectors realized Page and Joyner had to have some help getting all those yards. Two senior offensive linemen,  Corbin Ferry and Bryce Vitcovich, joined Page on the second offensive unit.

The Tomahawks placed third in state, and they couldn’t have done it without a strong defense as four players were named to the second team.

Vitcovich also was named to the second team as a defensive lineman. Drew Hatch, another senior, was named as a linebacker. And senior defensive back Nicholas Alonso also made the second team all-state defense.

Despite winning only a few games, Marysville Getchell also had another player besides Montez on the all-state squad. Senior John Clark was named to the second unit’s defensive line.
