All State Team Honorable Mentions: Class B

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last couple of weeks, I have covered the top players in Western New York that made the All State team. Here are those players that made honorable mention in Class B; athletes that made an impact for their school but for one reason or another did not get the same recognition from New York State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["806982"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1174690,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='806982' first='Gavin' last='Schwab'] is a very good pocket passer and possesses excellent awareness. He has a quick release and puts the ball only where his receiver can get it. Schwab does not turn the ball over much as illustrated by his 11 to 1 TD to INT ratio. Pioneer has traditionally been a run first team so Gavin's 1,820 passing yards in 2 seasons may not be earth shattering but he does have the intangibles to be a great leader. [player_tooltip player_id='806982' first='Gavin' last='Schwab'] led the Panthers to the Class B Championship game in 2023. Pioneer lost but Schwab showed up big throwing for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns. Gavin will look to build off his impressive Junior season as a Senior in 2024.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["807029"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1262163,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='807029' first='Brayden' last='Tryon'] was probably the most overlooked player on the All State team, especially in Western New York. Tryon ran for 1,214 yards on just 123 carries and 24 touchdowns as a Junior. He added another 3 touchdowns on Kick Returns. He averaged a 5 to 1 touch to touchdown ratio. Brayden has the rare combination of speed, power and fantastic balance. His excellent vision and his patience on waiting for the play to develop made him difficult to defend. He has gained some interest from colleges in the area but his senior year should give him plenty of opportunities for more offers and another All State Team recognition.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["806940"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='806940' first='Joshua' last='Neeley'] played both sides of the ball in his two seasons at Williamsville South. As a Wide Receiver and Outside Linebacker, Neeley showed excellent athleticism. Playing OLB, he is a very good pass rusher and can play coverage when needed. Neeley racked up 106 tackles (18 for loss) 1 sack, 4 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries in his Junior u0026amp; Senior seasons. But it was WR where Josh received All State honors, catching 47 passes for 697 yards and 7 touchdowns. He has good football instincts, is able to find the open holes in defensive coverages and his soft hands mixed with his breakaway speed made him a terror to defend. A two sport star, [player_tooltip player_id='1210176' first='Josh' last='Neeley'] is sure to find himself receiving prestigious collegiate offers.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["807031"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":1174703,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='807031' first='Keenan' last='Banks'] is a playmaking Defensive End.

Keenan also had a nose for the ball adding an interception, 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries to his resume. He also played some fullback and was a great lead blocker for a dynamic Flyers run game. Still uncommitted, [player_tooltip player_id='807031' first='Keenan' last='Banks'] has received offers from Wagner College in NYC and Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.

A big body in the defensive line that can clog the holes and can penetrate the offense, he also displayed superior athleticism for a player of his size. As a Center, Parsons is a superb run blocker and consistently blocks downfield. He is constantly moving his feet and and blocks to the whistle.
