The Lake Mills football team had 10 players recognized with All-District honors for the 2018 football season.

Five Bulldogs were named to the All-District first team, including seniors Cael Boehmer, Maverick Schmitt and Nate Orban; and sophomores Caleb Bacon and Elijah Wagner.

Boehmer finished the season with over 1,200 yards of offense — 900 of which came through the air — and 15 total touchdowns.

“Cael had a real nice senior season,” said head coach Bill Byrnes. “(He) was a great leader on the field, he really led our new offense this season.”

Schmitt led the defense in tackles despite playing nearly the entire season in a cast. Byrnes said Schmitt was the leader of the defense this year, always finding his way to the ball and playing a very aggressive style of defense.

Wagner played both linebacker and fullback for the Bulldogs in his sophomore season. He was the team’s leading rusher with 549 yards. Byrnes said Wagner is a hard worker and always ran tough to get the inside yards and played solid defense.

Orban was a key piece of both the offensive and defensive lines. Defensively, Orban recorded 34 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss and three fumble recoveries.

Bacon, the second sophomore to make the list, played on the offensive line and as a linebacker.

“We asked Caleb offensively to play a new position this year and he did a great job at tackle,” Byrnes said. “Defensively he was one of the most explosive players we had and plays hard and physical. We are looking forward to two more years of Caleb and looking for him to be a dominate player.”

Making the second team were seniors Tommy Kaktis and Zach Wagner, and junior Logan Prescott. Receiving an honorable mention were seniors Max Johnson and Dylan Renneker.

On top of the 10 athletes who received All-District honors, 15 also were named All-District Academic selections. Honorees were Boehmer, Prescott, Wagner, Bacon, Renneker, Orban, Mason Fritz, Colby Groe, Casey Hanson, Tyler Helgeson, Brayden Lindeman, Bennett Eaton and Blake Storby, and managers Aaron Mathahs and Tyler Christian.
