Sportswriters from the Southeast District voted on the 2017 All-District football team following the conclusion of the regular season, as the Hillsboro Indians had four players selected to the team, and the McClain Tigers had one player selected.
For the Indians, three players were selected to the first team in Division III in senior lineman Jared Conn and junior running back Josh Keets for offense, and defensively, senior defensive back Britton Haines, for their play in the 2017 season.
Two players from Highland County were selected with All-District special mention honors in HHS senior lineman R.J. Swackhamer for Division III, and in Division IV, McClain senior running back Darius White earned a selection.
The Division III SE District Coach of the Year was Hillsboro’s Jack O’Rourke, as he led the Indians to their first winning season since 2009 as the Indians finished with a 7-3 overall mark. Dating back to the 2016 season, the Indians have won 10 of their past 13 games.
This past season, Keets led the Indians in rushing with 1,163 yards in 10 games, finishing with 13 touchdowns. In Week 10, he had 10 carries for 172 yards and three touchdowns at McClain, and in Week 9 Keets rushed for 212 yards and five touchdowns vs. the Miami Trace Panthers.
Also this season for Keets, he caught multiple 2-point conversions and returned kickoffs, including an 85-yard kickoff for a touchdown.
Conn and Swackhamer were a big part of the success of the Indians, being they were members of the offensive line that paved the way for many of the Hillsboro touchdowns — a team that scored over 400 points — this season.
Haines earned his defensive first-team honors with his versatile play in 2017, including having three interceptions and eight total touchdowns combined on offense, defense and special teams. Against East Clinton in Week 3, Haines had a 40-yard interception for a touchdown and a 74-yard touchdown reception.
Also in 2017, Haines kicked over 30 extra points and had some 2-point conversion scores. For the season, his touchdown breakdown was two rushing, five receiving and one defense.
For McClain, White led the Tigers with 507 yards on 120 carries and one touchdown. He averaged 4.2 yards per carry and 72.4 yards per game. In all, White totaled 591 all-purpose yards. He also recorded 29 tackles when playing linebacker.

For the Indians, three players were selected to the first team in Division III in senior lineman Jared Conn and junior running back Josh Keets for offense, and defensively, senior defensive back Britton Haines, for their play in the 2017 season.
Two players from Highland County were selected with All-District special mention honors in HHS senior lineman R.J. Swackhamer for Division III, and in Division IV, McClain senior running back Darius White earned a selection.
The Division III SE District Coach of the Year was Hillsboro’s Jack O’Rourke, as he led the Indians to their first winning season since 2009 as the Indians finished with a 7-3 overall mark. Dating back to the 2016 season, the Indians have won 10 of their past 13 games.
This past season, Keets led the Indians in rushing with 1,163 yards in 10 games, finishing with 13 touchdowns. In Week 10, he had 10 carries for 172 yards and three touchdowns at McClain, and in Week 9 Keets rushed for 212 yards and five touchdowns vs. the Miami Trace Panthers.
Also this season for Keets, he caught multiple 2-point conversions and returned kickoffs, including an 85-yard kickoff for a touchdown.
Conn and Swackhamer were a big part of the success of the Indians, being they were members of the offensive line that paved the way for many of the Hillsboro touchdowns — a team that scored over 400 points — this season.
Haines earned his defensive first-team honors with his versatile play in 2017, including having three interceptions and eight total touchdowns combined on offense, defense and special teams. Against East Clinton in Week 3, Haines had a 40-yard interception for a touchdown and a 74-yard touchdown reception.
Also in 2017, Haines kicked over 30 extra points and had some 2-point conversion scores. For the season, his touchdown breakdown was two rushing, five receiving and one defense.
For McClain, White led the Tigers with 507 yards on 120 carries and one touchdown. He averaged 4.2 yards per carry and 72.4 yards per game. In all, White totaled 591 all-purpose yards. He also recorded 29 tackles when playing linebacker.
