The 8-man football All-State and All-Conference list came out recently. For the northern division, each position was broken down by All-Conference and Chinook High had six entries.
Starting on offense, sophomore quarterback Ryan Bell was named second-team All-Conference, while senior fullback Oliver Standiford was also All-Conference second-team. Senior wide receiver Carson Nissen was on the All-Conference second team and sophomore wide receiver Jameson Nordboe received an honorable mention.
Moving to the defense, senior Brockton Elliot made the second team All-Conference as a defensive end and Standiford was an honorable mention All-Conference at linebacker.
The Beeters football finished (7-4) in 2024 and will be returning a crop of talent on both sides of the ball for next season. Congratulations to the five Beeter football players for their All-Conference awards.
