Spencer/Columbus Catholic senior running back/quarterback/receiver has been named to the 2016 Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-State Team as an offensive utility player.

Zastrow was the only local player named to the first team. Stratford defensive lineman Ethan Fabry and offensive lineman Tanner Weinfurtner, and Spencer/Columbus offensive lineman Max Johnson were honorable mention choices.

Zastrow complied 1,358 yards rushing and 233 yards receiving, and scored 25 touchdowns (18 rushing, six receiving, one on a punt return) for the Rockets, who finished third in the Cloverbelt Conference and ended the season with an 8-3 record after losing a WIAA Division 5 Level 2 playoff game to Amherst.

Zastrow also played quarterback at times throughout the season and completed 14 of 30 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns.

Darlington senior running back Hunter Johnson was named the state Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 2,076 yards and 40 touchdowns, on just 155 carries, prior to Thursday’s WIAA Division 6 state championship game.

Bay Port linebacker Matt Lorbeck was named state Defensive Player of the Year. He finished with 112 tackles, including 15 for loss, and seven sacks.

Caiden Haake of Pepin/Alma (fullback/tight end and defensive end), Michael Singer of Amherst (offensive and defensive line), and Matt Henningsen of Menomonee Falls (offensive and defensive line) were two-way first team all-state selections.
