Marshfield senior Brandon Bell was the Tigers’ lone first-team representative to the 2016 All-Valley Football Association South Division Team.

Bell was one of seven offensive linemen picked to the first team by the conference’s eight head coaches.

Bradon Bohman was the only Tiger picked to the second team. Bohman, a senior, was picked to the second team as a running back and a return specialist. He rushed for 757 yards and five touchdowns, had eight receptions, and returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the season opener against Wausau East.

Marshfield earned eight honorable mention selections – offensive linemen John Roherty and Sam Bauman, defensive lineman Jon Wittman, defensive end Neil Voros, safety Paul Maguire, cornerback Austin Goode, and linebackers Quinton Alexander and Connor Peterson. All but Alexander are seniors.

Maguire was second on the team with 58 tackles, Wittman had five tackles for loss and 4½ sacks, and Voros had four quarterback sacks for Marshfield.

Wisconsin Rapids quarterback Ben Olson was named the VFA South’s Offensive Player of the Year, Fond du Lac defensive lineman Donte Johnson was picked as the VFA South’s Defensive Player of the Year, and Pete McAdams of conference-champion Stevens Point was named Coach of the Year.
