  "account": "The SCAC football coaches announced their selections for the 2026 league all-star teams on Monday. Coaches from Division I, II, and III voted on first teams, second teams, honorable mentions, and various individual awards, including offensive and defensive MVPs as well as coach of the year accolades. Quarterbacks earned all three offensive MVP awards: Central York's Jamin Ilgenfritz for Division I, West York's Jensen Ferber for Division II, and Big Spring's Nate Baranoski for Division III. Ilgenfritz led the league with 2,251 passing yards and 30 touchdowns in his first year as a starter, guiding Central York to an 8-2 regular season record and their eighth SCAC Division I title in a row. Ferber, in his third year as the Bulldogs' starting quarterback, ranked third in the league with 1,937 passing yards and 18 touchdowns, leading the Bulldogs to their first Division II title since 2014. Baranoski added 1,538 passing yards and 17 touchdowns in his senior season, while also rushing for 679 yards and six touchdowns, helping Big Spring to a 9-1 record and a second-place finish in Division III. Josh Bahr of Central York and York High's Gerry Yonchiuk were named the Division I Defensive MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively. Bahr recorded 99 total tackles, four sacks, and other notable defensive plays in his senior year. Dover's Gage Malehorn and Big Spring's Declan Smith were chosen as the Division II and III Defensive MVPs. Malehorn, a junior, tallied 104 tackles, seven sacks, and other key defensive contributions for the Eagles. Smith, a junior, amassed 80 tackles with 5.5 yards lost, two fumble recoveries, and notable defensive plays for the Bulldogs. Northeastern's Ryan Bologa and Hanover's Steve Wiles earned the Division II and III Coach of the Year awards, respectively. Bologa guided the Bobcats to an 8-3 record, their best since 2016, after their team ended a 38-game losing streak. Wiles coached Hanover to a 10-0 regular season and a SCAC Division III title in his second season.
