MUSCATINE, Iowa — Just like the Mississippi Athletic Conference standings, the Clinton River Kings dominated the all-MAC football teams announced today.

Coach Lee Camp’s team had seven first-team selections and 26 players overall named to the three teams and honorable mention.

Tailback David Johnson was named the league’s player of the year, while Camp was chosen as the coach of the year for Clinton, which finished 11-1 overall and 9-0 in league play.

Defensive lineman Isaac Ales was the lone Muscatine player to make any of the three teams, earning first-team status. Ales, a junior, was the team’s second-leading tackler with 76 stops (8.4 per game). He also had more than a dozen tackles for loss for the Muskies (2-7).

Muscatine had four players tabbed honorable mention in junior placekicker Ozzy Carrillo, offensive lineman Marcel Warren and linebackers Mat Snider and Derick Minch.

Carrillo made seven field goals this year, including a game-winner against Pleasant Valley in the season finale. Snider was the team’s top tackler with 85 stops, while Minch was among the state leaders in fumble recoveries with six.

League runner-up Bettendorf had six first-team picks.
