Mideastern Conference awards football all-conference honors

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY)–All of our area high school football teams have wrapped up their 2021 seasons, which means the Mideastern Conference has now released their all-conference awards.

On the offensive side of ball, West Brunswick senior quarterback Monzelle Campbell was named the Mideastern Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Campbell scored 17 touchdowns for the Trojans this season through the air and on the ground.

On the other side of the ball, the MEC Defensive Player of the Year was awarded to Hoggard junior Jaxon King. The defensive back was huge for the Vikings all season, leading the squad in defensive touchdowns.
