Deer Park High School freshman Christian Myrick was recently named to the New York State Sportswriters Association’s All-State football team, selected as an honorable mention recipient. He was the only ninth grader honored by selection to the NYSSWA Class A All-State team.

Myrick’s freshman season was truly remarkable, highlighted by 12 total touchdowns including five rushing, four receiving, one kickoff return, one punt return and an interception. He finished with over 825 yards on offense, including 416 yards rushing, 396 yards receiving and even 15 yards passing. He also contributed three interceptions on defense.

“The breakdown of those dozen touchdowns show just how complete of a player he is,” coach Cody Ciolino said. “We are very proud of Christian and we look forward to seeing him develop as a player and a leader within the football program.”
