MANSFIELD — Mansfield Senior’s Jornell Manns, Lexington’s Cade Stover and Ashland’s Scott Valentine were the top honorees when the Ohio Cardinal Conference released its all-league awards on Friday morning.
Manns, who is committed to attend Minnesota, cracked the 1,000-yard barrier and was also a fine receiving threat out of the backfield. His play helped lead the Tygers to a share of the OCC championship and a playoff berth.
Stover plays all over the field for the Minutemen, and has been one of the conference’s leading tacklers for his entire career. Just a junior, he’s considered one of the top players in his class in the nation and is being recruited by Ohio State, Penn State and Notre Dame among others.
Valentine also led the Arrows to a piece of the OCC championship. He’ll guide Ashland into tonight’s playoff encounter with Massillon at Wooster.
