Defensively, Samuel Ahmuty was a second-team, all-state defensive lineman and Owen Segura earned an honorable-mention nod as a defensive lineman.
On the all-district teams, the CLHS defense was the calling card. Andrew Shrewsbury and Gavin Baxter got second-team nods at linebacker, while Tate Elder was a second-team, all-district defensive back.

VOLLEYBALL
It was another stellar year for the Concordia Lutheran volleyball program, going 22-4 and reaching the TAPPS state semifinals. The 'Saders fell to district rival St. Agnes in four games.
Coach Kim Odinga says goodbye along with Brooke Frazier, who left a lasting legacy on the program. The first-team, all-state defender is off to the SEC where she plays for Texas A&M. Frazier was a four-time, first-team, all-district selection and a Prep Volleyball All-American.
Outside hitter Sophie Keene also joined Frazier on the first-team as the Baylor commit will lead the charge in her 2021 senior season.
Sydney Whitfield was a second-team, all-state selection and could have a break-out year for the Crusaders in 2021. Ryann Ely earned an honorable mention for her play as a senior.
