Late Wednesday night, the list came out to see who made All-State and All-Conference for the 2024 MHSA Eastern ‘A’ football season. Five Havre Blue Ponies made the All-State list: Seniors Tre Gary, Tate Nelson, Colter Solomon, and Gage Chapman, along with junior Tommy Lewis, were selected as the best of the best.
Starting with All-Conference first team offense, Lewis (at guard), Chapman (at tackle), Gary (at wide receiver), and Nelson (at running back) made that list, too. Max Spangler also took home an All-Conference first-team honor as a center. Second-team offense was Solomon at wide receiver, junior tackle Brandon Healy, and junior quarterback Griffin Terry. Honorable mention for All-Conference offense was junior guard Danner McDuffie.
For All-Conference defense, Solomon (at free safety), Gary (at strong safety), and Nelson (at outside linebacker) were named to the first team. The defensive end tandem of seniors Chris Bell and Pierce Caplette rounded that group out. At All-Conference second-team defense was sophomore inside linebacker Urijah Davis and senior cornerback Aiden Moomey. Teegan Solomon was named honorable mention cornerback.
Congratulations to all the Blue Pony football players for their honors from the 2024 season.
