Carthage’s Blake Bogenschutz + Scott Surratt Share Superlative Honors on TSWA Class 3A All-State Football Team

BRYAN -- Carthage senior quarterback Blake Bogenschutz and coach Scott Surratt were honored with superlatives on the 63rd Annual Collin Street Bakery/Texas Sports Writers Association Class 3A All-State Football Team, which was released Thursday.

Bogenschutz shared Offensive Player of the Year honors with Fairfield senior running back Larry Rose, while Surratt shared Coach of the Year distinction with Argyle's Todd Rodgers.

Navasota senior defensive lineman Jordan Wells was voted Defensive Player of the Year.

Bogenschutz re-wrote the school record book in leading Carthage to its fourth state championship in six years. The UTSA signee finished 2013 with 4,003 passing yards and 57 touchdowns, and became Carthage's single-season and all-time record holder for both yards and touchdowns.

Surratt, who led Carthage to a 34-23 win over Kilgore in the 3A Division I title game in December, is now 30-3 all-time in the playoffs as the Bulldogs' head coach.

Bogenschutz wasn't the only Carthage player earning a first-team selection. He was joined by senior guard Griffin Bankhead, senior receiver Terian "Tee" Goree and senior defensive lineman Mario McCain.

Other East Texans on the first team were Jasper senior center Terrell Cuney, Kilgore senior defensive lineman LaDarrin Anthony and Athens sophomore Travon Fuller.

Four area players earned spots on the second team. They were: Chapel Hill senior center Thad Bevis, Carthage senior guard Adrian Goodacre, Kilgore junior running back Kevrin Justice and Gilmer senior defensive back Devondrick Dixon.

There were eight East Texans on the third team -- Gilmer senior tackle Dylan Adkinson, Carthage senior receiver O'Keeron Rutherford, Carthage senior running back Tevin Pipkin, Gilmer senior kicker Pablin Olivares, Gladewater junior defensive lineman Daylon Mack, Chapel Hill senior defensive lineman Keith Minor, Gilmer senior linebacker Josh Walker and Gladewater junior defensive back Duke Gordon.

Several players from the area were honorable mention.

The offensive players with that distinction were Athens senior tackle Juan Guzman, Palestine senior tackle Brian Thlang, Carthage senior center Cade Clinton, Kilgore senior guard Clay Wiley, Kilgore junior tight end Jarod Wood, Chapel Hill senior receiver Gabriel Robinson, Gilmer senior quarterback Tanner Barr, Chapel Hill senior quarterback Andrew Black, Jasper senior running back Terrence Cuney, Athens sophomore running back Logan Fuller, Van junior running back Matt Savis and Carthage senior kicker Jimmy Gonzalez.

East Texas defenders to make the honorable mention list were Van junior defensive linemen Brice Borgeson, Chapel Hill senior defensive lineman Shaquille Warren, Kilgore senior linebacker Jake Brantley, Jasper senior linebacker DeAnthony Cuney, Athens senior linebacker K.J. Cumby, Carthage junior linebacker James Marshall and Liberty-Eylau senior defensive back Davion Hall.
