Mansfield Legacy safety earns another All-state honor

Mansfield Legacy sophomore safety Jalen Catalon has been named the defensive player of the year on the 66th annual Texas Sports Writers Association Class 5A All-State football team.

In December he was named The Associated Press 5A defensive player of the year, and the Star-Telegram Super Team defensive player of the year. Catalon recorded 196 tackles and nine interceptions, including six in the postseason, for 11-3 Legacy.

Class 5A Division II champion Aledo placed three on the TSWA first team: quarterback Dillon Davis, offensive tackle Chuck Filiaga and defensive lineman Wes Harris. Aledo coach Steve Wood shared coach of the year honors with Dallas Highland Park’s Randy Allen.

Also on the first team are Saginaw Boswell running back Damon Williams and wide receiver Gavin Holmes of Justin Northwest.

Richmond Foster senior receiver Cedarian Lamb is the 5A offensive player of the year. The Oklahoma signee had 98 catches for 2,032 yards with 33 touchdowns for 14-1 Foster.

Second-team selections are: running backs Kameron Session (Mansfield Legacy) and Syrus Moore (Justin Northwest); offensive linemen Wyatt Morgan (Grapevine) and Dakoda Newman (Mansfield Timberview); place-kicker Josue Munoz (Mansfield Summit); defensive lineman James Williams (Aledo); and defensive back Wyatt Harris (Aledo).
