Local high school football teams had great individual performers this year. Below is this year’s Republic-Times All-Local Football Team, consisting of student-athletes from Columbia, Waterloo and Dupo on offense, defense and special teams.

The all-local offensive team includes a senior quarterback who led the Cahokia Conference in touchdown passes while throwing only seven interceptions, as well as a flex player who did it all for his team.

The all-local defensive team is led by a junior linebacker who led the Cahokia Conference in tackles while setting a new school record in total tackles, and a host of other talented and hard-working young men.
