On Thursday, the TSWA released its Class 3A all-state team and there was plenty of Bull to go along with it. Seven members of the District 5-3A Bridgeport Bulls football team were selected to the all-state team.

The top honors went to junior running back Corbin Green, senior linebacker Zach Bracken and senior center Stewart Price. The trio was named second-team all-state by the sports writers. Corbin Green had a school record 31 rushing touchdowns this season.

Third-team honors went to senior quarterback Cameron Green. The signal caller broke a school record this year for completion percentage, connecting on 64 percent of his throws this year.

Senior linemen Erick Serafin and Corey Henson, as well as junior linebacker Blake Waldrep, were named honorable mention all state by the association.

Carthage running back Dwight Smith grabbed offensive player of the year honors, while Giddings defensive back Xavier Daniels earned defensive player of the year honors, and Prosper's Kent Scott was coach of the year.
