Kingsford junior Preston DeClark was named lineman of the year as the West-PAC Copper Division football conference announced its 2025 awards.

DeClark was an All-Conference selection at offensive tackle, joining four Flivvers teammates in collecting first team honors.

Briar Brayden, a Kingsford senior, was named at fullback. On the defensive side, the picks were junior lineman Connor White, junior inside linebacker Jake Lockhart, and junior defensive back Blake Tomasoski, who was a unanimous choice.

Named to the second team on offense were Tomasoski at quarterback, and White at tackle, along with senior guard Logan DeClark and junior wide receiver Gage Sorensen.

Logan Clark was named to the second-team defense as a lineman, joined by senior defensive back Sid Olson.

Flivvers receiving honorable mention were three seniors — defensive back Jack Olson, running back Ian Spencer and defensive back Jack Kriegl.

Kingsford was 6-1 in the conference, losing only to champion Menominee, who went 7-0.

The Maroons saw senior Tanner Theuerkauf named offensive player of the year and junior Nathan Nelson named defensive player of the year. Menominee’s Chad Brandt was coach of the year.

Negaunee junior Evan DellAngelo was named special teams player of the year.

Kingsford won the junior varsity championship.
