High school football: Elyria Catholic strikes more gold, lands nine players on All-Ohio list led by Golden Helmet winner Levi Ellis

Lorain County's Golden Helmet winner took home another honor Tuesday. Levi Ellis, Elyria Catholic's career rushing leader, was named first-team All-Ohio in Division IV by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association, joining teammates Travis Merrill and Tony Grasso. Keystone's Ryne Shackelford and A.J. Stroud were made the first team in Division V. "It's been (a season) to remember," said Ellis, who rewrote Elyria Catholic's record book with 5,098 career rushing yards to eclipse the longstanding mark set by two-time state champion tailback Al McKinney in the 1980s. "All the guys have been great teammates, especially Tony and Travis, and all the rest of the guys that got second team, third team and honorable mention. We, as a program, really push each other. That really makes us all better individual players." Ellis credited his parents with a lot of his success. His dad, Mike, is an assistant coach for the Panthers. "Really, both my parents," he said. "From my mom coaching me in T-ball to my dad coaching me in whatever sport it is. They've both sacrificed so much and have helped me get to the place I am." Panthers coach Brian Fox marvels at the selflessness of Ellis. "When you see the praise he deflects to other people, when you see the work he puts in, when you see the quiet demeanor he has about him," Fox said. "You don't see kids produce at his level and say, 'Oh by the way, he's a 4.3 (GPA) student.'" Merrill learned the news from Ellis during lunch. "I didn't really look at Twitter that much the last couple days, so I was happy when Levi came up to tell me," said Merrill, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound senior who was honored for his play as a defensive lineman. "It's my last try, my last go-around. It meant the world to me to finally achieve first team. Last year I got second-team All-Ohio and it just motivated me more this year to put in the work and dedicate myself to the sport. It just makes me feel accomplished that I was awarded something that I worked so hard for." Grasso, another senior, made it as a linebacker. "Tony Grasso never played organized football until we got him," Fox said. "Not one game, other than what he did in the backyard. One day I was watching him play CYO basketball and I said to him after the game, 'You realize you got two technical fouls in a Catholic-led basketball game.' I don't know if he realized it. He was a linebacker. His instinct, his explosiveness, his strength, when you see him in the weight room and then you see him sprinting, it doesn't make sense. You have a 215-pound kid who squats in the mid-400s who's also one of the fastest kids on the team." The Panthers went 10-3, losing in the playoffs to state champion Glenville in the regional semifinals. They had nine players honored in all, tied with Glenville for the most in the division. Two other seniors — Tavion Thomas, a 5-10, 200-pound linebacker, and Colin Ginley, a 6-3, 170-pound defensive back — were named to the second team. Making the third team were offensive linemen Evan Smith (6-3, 265) and Jackson Smith (6-4, 250) and efensive linemen Zach Pearl (6-2, 225) and Colin Kenneally (6-3, 210). "You'd really like to see every one of your kids on there," Fox said. "It wouldn't be special it there weren't some left off. When you see nine kids on there, it's like Christmas for a coach." The only other Lorain County representative in Division IV was Brookside running back Ben Montgomery, a 5-11, 180-pound junior. Shackelford, a senior wide receiver who is headed to Purdue, was honored for the second year in a row, making second team last season. He has over 2,500 yards receiving and over 900 rushing in his career and 55 touchdowns. Stroud, who sat out his freshman and sophomore seasons, came back last year to join the Wildcats. The defensive back led the team with eight interceptions this season. "It feels pretty good to be named first-team All-Ohio," said Shackelford, a state champion sprinter and long-jumper. "It's like all the work I've put in is paying off. I was thankful I was able to play my freshman year and be a part of the team." "It felt amazing," Stroud said. "I've been waiting for it to come out for the past two weeks. I thought I had a pretty solid chance of getting it. I knew I had a pretty good season, stat-wise. It means a lot ... I actually had one of my buddies come up to me to let me know that I got it." That buddy was Ryne's younger brother, Zach, who made honorable mention at wide receiver. In addition to the Shackelfords and Stroud, senior quarterback Konner Rodick was named to the second team. For the Clippers, Keith Colvin, a junior defensive back, made second team, while offensive linemen Camron Carreras, a senior, and Josiah Longo, a sophomore, were named to the third team. Juniors Greg O'Hearn, a defensive lineman, and Ayden Cruz, a linebacker, were honorable mention. "It's pretty awesome," Keystone coach Don Griswold said. "Ryne's been on there a couple times. Obviously, he's a great kid. "Stroud is a pretty neat story. He played football through seventh grade and then took a couple years off and came back last year as a junior. He was an awesome addition. Great role player. Just a great story. He's a small kid (5-10, 160), undersized, but in 2022, any body type can play football. I really love that because of the spread offenses. "Konner comes back — second year in a row on the second team. He had almost 2,000 yards throwing and Shackelford's younger brother, Zach — he's going to be a good one. We're blessed to have great kids." Contact Tim Gebhardt at (440) 329-7135 or timothygeb@msn.com.
