Ten Years Ago

January 10, 2013

The Waitsburg-Prescott football team fell one game short of a return trip to the state championship game this fall, but a trio of its members still earned best-in-state individual honors. Dalton Estes, Ben Shafer, and Danny Stansell garnered selections to the Associated Press all-state 2B squad. Estes earned the honor at two different positions. Estes, last year’s championship game MVP, and this year’s all-league all-purpose player of the year won first team honors at both running back and defensive back. “For Dalton to get all-state running back on offense when he only played half the season there was really something,” WP head football coach Jeff Bartlow said. “He split the season between there and receiver. He had like 1,700 yards receiving and 1,100 yards rushing. I was very happy for him.”
