Here are the 2022 WVC Division 2 All-Stars presented by Shane Scanlon Law. The list is compiled by feedback from the division coaches and NPF Staff.

OFFENSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Aaron Crossley, Jr. – Wyoming Area
The Wyoming Area offense had many questions entering the 2022 season after being hit hard by graduation the last two seasons. Crossley answered pretty much all of them on offense. The junior was THE Warriors offense rushing for 2,115 yards and 24 touchdowns. That included the role as workhorse (he had four games with 300+ yards rushing) and playmaker (actually played some quarterback throwing 14 passes). Crossley, who was a championship sprinter on the track team, was probably more valuable to his team than any other player in the WVC.

DEFENSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
David Sudo, Sr. – Pittston Area
The Pittston Area defense was the best in the division and Sudo was the leader setting the tone up front. The senior was disruptive in the running game and also could be used as a pass rusher. Sudo finished the season with 66 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 7 QB hurries. The Patriots only allowed 57 points in their six division games. Sudo brought some toughness up front that allowed Pittston to bully opponents on defense.

 

LINEMAN OF THE YEAR
Ethan Speece, Sr. – Wyoming Area
On a very young and inexperienced team , Speece not only was excellent on both sides of the ball, but a leader as well. On offense, he led the way for a 2,000 yard rusher and registered 30 pancake blocks. On defense, he anchored the middle of the Warriors defensive line, occupying blockers while making 30 tackles and adding 2 sacks. Wyoming Area played for the league title and qualified for the playoffs in what was deemed a rebuilding season with Speece being a major reason for the success.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Nick Barbieri  – Pittston Area
Coach Barbieri took the Pittston Area job that once belonged to his father and has slowly rebuilt the Patriots to get to this point. They ended up winning the WVC Division 2 title in an impressive fashion over rival Wyoming Area and earned a home game for the District 2 playoffs. This senior class has set the foundation for the Patriots future as Barbieri will try to continue the momentum from the success in 2022.
