Oskaloosa–A total of 11 awards were earned by the William Penn football team as the all-Heart of America Athletic Conference North Division teams were announced Monday.
Three players were selected for first-team recognition, while five more received second-team nods. An additional three individuals took home honorable mentions as well.
The crew helped WPU finish with a 4-3 record (2-1 North) in a shortened campaign.
FIRST TEAM
Senior linebacker Jace Neugebauer (McArthur, Calif., Business Management) collected his second top-team laurel (second award of his career). He ended the fall with 20 tackles (14 solos, 6 assists), including three for loss. Neugebauer, who also had one fumble recovery and one pass breakup, stepped up for the navy and gold and switched to the offensive side of the ball for a few contests to be the team’s starting quarterback. He started on both offense and defense in the final game of the year.
