Honored to be selected 2nd Team All-Metro by the @sfchronicle @SportingGreenSF

Thanks for selecting @Josh_Riley06 and I as Players of the Year. Connelly anchored both lines this season. “Sam never left the field, he was on the O-line, the D-line. He was the guy in front of Josh keeping the guys off Josh. He was the guy paving the way for our RB & QB”
