Union quarterback Lincoln Victor added to his list of postseason honors Thursday as he was named the state football player of the year for all classifications by the Associated Press.

Victor, who helped Union to the Class 4A state championship earlier this month, had previously been selected as The Columbian’s All-Region player of the year, the state player of the year by the Tacoma News Tribune and the state co-player of the year by the Seattle Times, sharing the honor with teammate Darien Chase.

The all-state teams were selected through a statewide panel of media members.

Victor, a senior, passed for 2,498 yards and 25 yards and rushed for 796 yards and 10 touchdowns, despite missing 2.5 games with an injury in October.

In the postseason is where Lincoln shined best, completing 76 of 96 passes for 1,412 yards and 17 touchdowns in five playoff games. He was 19 for 24 for 327 yards and five touchdowns in the state title game against Lake Stevens.

Victor was also the 4A state player of the year and the first-team all-state quarterback.

Hockinson’s Sawyer Racanelli was selected the Class 2A state player of the year after helping the Hawks repeat as state champions.

Racanelli, a junior, caught 100 passes for 1,662 yards and 23 touchdowns on the season. He shined in the 2A state title game against Lynden, rushing for 85 yards and five touchdowns and also throwing a touchdown pass.

Joining Lincoln on the 4A all-state first team were teammates Chase — at both receiver and defensive back — running back Jojo Siofele, offensive lineman Giovanny Rojo, defensive lineman Marvin Barber. Camas linebacker Shane Jamison also made the first team.

Union offensive lineman Dumitru Salagor and Skyview defensive lineman Micah Baylous earned honorable mention.

Racanelli made the all-state first team at receiver. He was joined on the 2A all-state first team were Woodland’s Tyler Flanagan (quarterback), Hockinson’s Takumi Veley (offensive line), Nathan Balderas (defensive line) and Peyton Brammer (defensive back).

Hockinson quarterback Levi Crum, Brammer (receiver), linebacker Jon Domingos and defensive back Aidan Mallory, along with Ridgefield linebacker Brock Harrison, earned honorable mention.

Mountain View defensive back Michael Bolds made the 3A all-state first team. Earning honorable mention at 3A was Mountain View offensive lineman Kobe Anderson.

La Center’s Wyatt Dodson made the 1A all-state first team at defensive back. Stevenson receiver Isaac Hoidal earned honorable mention.

The other state players of the year were Sam Adams II of Eastside Catholic at Class 3A, Sawyer Jenks of Royal at 1A, Alex Dyer of Kalama at 2B and Marcus King of Odessa at 1B.
