To the victors go the spoils.
State-champion Wahama landed a total of seven players on the 2012 Class A all-state football teams, as voted on by members of the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
The White Falcons — who set program-firsts with a state title and 14-0 overall mark — were well-represented throughout the list, as Wahama earned three first-team selections, a pair of second-team honorees, and both a special mention and honorable mention choice.
Zach Wamsley was the lone White Falcon named to the first-team defense, but the senior linebacker was also chosen as the captain — or top player — in Class A. Wamsley led WHS with 91 tackles and also posted 4.5 sacks during the season.
Juniors Kane Roush and Zack Killingsworth were both chosen to the first-team offense. Roush was selected as a running back after scoring 22 touchdowns and rushing for over 1,500 yards, while Killingsworth anchored an offensive line that outscored opponents by a whopping 558-193 overall margin.
Senior Trenton Gibbs was chosen to the second-team defense as a defensive back, while junior Wesley Harrison was named to the second-team offense as an offensive lineman.
Junior Colton Neal was a special mention choice and senior Crandal Neal was an honorable mention selection in Class A.
Magnolia senior wideout Stephen Rogalski was named the first-team offensive captain. Second-team captains were Eliott Nero of Madonna (offense) and Jordan Bonar of Bishop Donahue (defense).
