Boys
Thomas Brown, Jr., St. Anthony
Brown was nearly unstoppable on both sides of the ball during the Saints' 23-12 win over Fairmont Prep on Saturday. Forced to play QB because of injuries, Brown rushed for 196 yards and a TD in just three quarters. Defensively, he made a dozen tackles, two sacks and blocked a pair of punts that he returned for touchdowns.

The standout setter had five solid matches in leading the Lancers to their first-ever title at the Molten Gahr Tournament last week. She recorded 150 assists, 26 kills, 17 digs, 13 blocks and eight aces en route to the all-tournament team.
