New Boston’s Damien Haskins Voted Associated Press Class 2A Offensive Player of the Year

New Boston senior running back Damien Haskins provided a career's worth of highlights in just his senior season, and for his efforts, the Oregon State commit was voted Class 2A's Offensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press.

Haskins, who ran for 2,700 yards and 47 touchdowns during the Lions' undefeated regular season, was one of six East Texans to earn first-team honors.

Joining Haskins on the offense was teammate junior offensive lineman Wesley Holmes. Defensive first-teamers included Newton junior lineman Anthony Hadnot, Waskom junior lineman Justin Spurlin, Tatum senior defensive back Javolick Garrett and Harmony junior punter Jacob Fielden.

There were eight East Texans selected to the second team. Elkhart junior running back Jeffery Wilson, Daingerfield senior receiver Edwin Mims and senior kicker Carlos Macia were voted second-team offense.

Earning second-team defense nods were Daingerfield senior linebacker Calvin Bryant, Newton senior linebacker Corey Jenkins, White Oak senior linebacker Tyler Loven, Waskom senior defensive back Kevin Johnson and Harmony junior defensive back Tim McCoy.

There were also 17 area players that earned honorable mention recognition.
