Reid and Gladden named to All-State College Division teams by Roanoke Times

More post-season honors were given to Apprentice School football players on Saturday as the Roanoke Times announced its All-State College Division teams.  These teams encompassed NCAA Division II, III and NAIA ranks.

Senior wide receiver Travis Reid earned first team wide receiver honors from the Roanoke Times.  The senior from Goose Creek, S.C. became the first Apprentice School player earlier this off-season to be named Atlantic Central Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year en route to his second straight All-ACFC first-team selection after a season for the record books.  He was the first Apprentice School player in the 87-year history of football at the school to catch over 1,000 yards in passes as he finished with 1,049.  Reid set school career records for catches (169), yards (2.895) and touchdowns (33).  His 104.9 yards per game average broke the ACFC record for a single season.

Another honoree was center Jonathon Gladden who was a second team selection.  The Charlotte, N.C. native only missed one game in his four-year career after coming from Independence High School where his teams never lost in his four years.  Gladden was recently named to the First Team Academic All-District III team by the College Sports Information Directors Association for the second straight year.
