Jackpot.

Seventeen Lancaster-Lebanon League pigskin standouts on Friday earned PA Football Writers All-State honors in Class 4A, 5A and 6A.

The hefty list includes seven players in 4A, six players in 5A, and another four standouts in 6A.

The 4A honorees: Elco RB Jake Williams, Twin Valley TE Ean Winchester and Raiders' O-line road-grader Paul McClune, and four players from Manheim Central, including QB Zac Hahn, WR Aaron Enterline, DB Bode Sipel and RB Brycen Armold, who was selected as an athlete.

The 5A honorees: Cocalico two-way warrior Aaryn Longenecker was named as an athlete; Garden Spot dual-threat QB Kye Harting was tabbed as an athlete; Exeter RB Jayden Zandier; and three players from Ephrata, including QB Sam McCracken, who was slotted in as an athlete, plus LB Quintin Pfautz and DB Jeremiah Knowles.

The 6A honorees: Three standouts from Manheim Township, including QB Hayden Johnson, WR Landon Kennel and DE Eli Rodriguez were named, plus Wilson QB Tommy Hunsicker, who was tabbed as an athlete.

Players were nominated — and then voted upon — by football writers from across the state. The local big-school honorees joined L-L League brethren Cael Harter from Annville-Cleona, Elijah Cunningham from Lancaster Catholic, Mason Semmel from Hamburg, and Wyomissing’s Caleb Brewer and Ryker Jones, who earned small-school honors earlier this week.

In all, the L-L League produced 22 prestigious PA Football Writers All-State players from the 2023 season.

Hahn passed for 2,870 yards with 39 TD strikes; Enterline had 80 catches for 1,508 yards with 25 TD grabs — all tops in the league; Armold rushed for 1,686 yards with 23 TD gallops; Sipel registered 85 tackles with a pair of sacks; Williams paced the league with 2,401 rushing yards and 30 TD runs; and Winchester had 16 receptions and added 11 TD runs, thanks in large part to the blocking of McClune up front.

Harting passed for 1,899 yards with 33 TD tosses, and he rushed for 1,170 yards with 12 TD keepers, becoming just the third player in league history with back-to-back 1,000-pass/1,000-rush seasons; Longenecker rushed for 1,312 yards with 16 TD runs, piled up 2,069 all-purpose yards and had five interceptions; Zandier scooted for 1,358 yards with 15 TD runs; McCracken passed for 2,530 yards with 25 TD flips; Pfautz piled up 173 tackles with three interceptions; and Knowles had 151 tackles with three picks.

Johnson threw for 2,896 yards with 49 TD throws against zero interceptions, and finished his career as the fourth-leading passer in league history; Kennel had 64 catches for 1,119 yards with 25 TD grabs; Rodriguez amassed 70 tackles with seven sacks; and Hunsicker passed for 2,180 yards with 24 TD strikes.
