CLASS 11AA MONSTER PLAYER OF THE YEAR: SETH JOHNSON

Written by SportsBuzzard 1 on Friday, November 19th, 2010 at 5:29 am

There were a lot of outstanding players in Class 11AA this season, but few were able to play both sides of the ball and weather the season without injury. In other words, an Iron Man that didn’t rust.

Granted, the injury bug can strike any player at any time, and sometimes you have to rely upon luck to stay healthy. However, hard work and determination also seem to come into play, particularly in the long and grueling Class 11AA season that is packed with exceptionally hard knocks and tons of cross-state travel.

Seth Johnson, the 5’10” 170 lb Senior, was a true Iron Man this season for the Rapid City Stevens Raiders, playing both running back and defensive back.

When you mention Seth’s name to fans you often hear the same comment—-the guy works his tail off. Add to that attribute Seth’s end of season rushing statistics—-1134 yards and 12 TDs, and you have our Monster Class 11AA Player of the Year. Congrats Seth!!
