After the voting made by the state’s coaches and compiled by SBLive Oregon, the 4A All-State team has been released.
Pendleton junior running back Tugg McQuinn is the solo first team honoree of the Greater Oregon League.
Three additional GOL players are found on the second team led by the lineman blocking for McQuinn. Senior offensive lineman Deacon Pace picks up second team honors for his final year on the field.
The GOL will see two returning players next season with all-state honors. Ontario junior wide receiver Alex Nunez picked up second team as did Baker junior wide receiver Rasean Jones. Despite Jones sitting out a number of games due to injury, both he and Nunez will be back next season as second team players.
