Several local players make the all-district teams across Divisions III, V, VI and VII

The annual Ohio Prep Sports Media Association East District football awards lists were officially released at noon Tuesday, and three locals — two players and one coach — were among those chosen for the highest honors in the district.

Big Red’s Reno Saccoccia was recognized as the Coach of the Year in Division III after guiding Steubenville to a 10-0 regular season finish for the first time since 2017 and earning the No. 2 seed in Region 11 after moving up to D3 from Division IV this season.

It is his second player of the year award at the district level after winning the award last season in Division IV. The younger Saccoccia had 86 tackles, three interceptions and a defensive TD during the regular season and was also the team’s leading receiver on offense.

In Division VI, Toronto senior quarterback Zeb Kinsey was recognized as Co-Offensive Player of the Year.
