NEAH BAY — The hardware continues to roll in for the Neah Bay football team.
Two weeks after the Red Devils won their school’s first state title, three members of the team were named All-State selections by The Associated Press sportswriters.
Headlining the list was sophomore quarterback/defensive back Josiah Greene, who was named Class 1B player of the year as well as a first-team all-purpose player.
He was one of four players from the North Olympic Peninsula to earn first-team All-State honors.
“Josiah Greene is well deserving,” Neah Bay coach Tony McCaulley said.
“For a sophomore, he played outstanding in the playoffs.
“He’s a good player and he’s only getting better. From the beginning of the season to the end he just kept improving. I expect the same the next couple of years.”
Also selected first team All-State from Neah Bay’s eight-man championship squad were senior running back Titus Pascua and senior offensive lineman Rufus Arnold.
“Titus worked hard for us for the whole time I’ve been here coaching. He’s really dedicated to football,” McCaulley said.
“And Rufus Arnold, he’s just one of those linemen who never got a lot of credit, but he was a big part of our team.”
One other Peninsula football player received first-team All-State recognition: Sequim defensive back/wide receiver/returner Tyler Forshaw.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound senior had previously been named the Olympic League’s defensive MVP after finishing the season with nine interceptions and 105 tackles.
He was named to the 2A All-State defense as a defensive back.
Among those who received honorable mention were Sequim senior quarterback/linebacker Frank Catelli — an Air Force Academy recruit — and Forks junior defensive end Braden Decker.
