State 1A Division 2 eight-man football semi-finalist Dietrich High and quarterfinalist Carey amassed the top picks on the All-Sawtooth Conference North prep football team.

The All-Conference squad was selected Nov. 19 after the Idaho High School Activities Association state eight-man football finals won 53-38 by Salmon River of Riggins (10-2) over Lighthouse Christian Academy of Twin Falls (9-3).

North Division runner-up Carey (7-3) boasted first-team picks in senior Francisco “Poncho” Gamino (offense/defense), senior Glen Andrews, senior Gunner Thompson, senior Jordan Dilworth and sophomores Matt Whitworth and Nate Adamson.

Repeating as Sawtooth North “Coach of the Year” was Doug Astle of North Division champion Dietrich.
