The Washington County Athletic Association recently released its all-star football selections, with North Hagerstown’s Damean Thomas and South Hagerstown’s Brayden Sisk collecting some of the biggest honors.
In all, there were 51 all-star selections from teams in the Local.News coverage area.

For his efforts, Thomas was named by the WCAA as the Co-Junior Defensive Player of the Year, Top Outside Linebacker, and a member of the First Team Defense.
Thomas was the top player for a North Hagerstown squad that garnered 29 all-star selections, including an honor for Game of the Year, given to the Hubs for 28-27 overtime loss to Boonsboro on Oct. 25.
