Three Eagles named to All-Brazos team

The 2017 All-Brazos Valley football team was released last week and saw three Milano Eagle players receive honors.

Kyle King earned first team honors at defensive back and punter.  It is the second time King has earned the honor at punter. He punted 19 times for 704 yards, giving him over 4,400 yards and a 44 yard per punt average for his career.

The 6-3, 205-pound senior had 92 tackles at defensive back (55 of them solo), two tackles for loss, four interceptions, 11 pass breakups and three forced fumbles.  He was also the Eagles’ quarterback, throwing for 2,059 yards and 28 touchdowns and rushing for 1,191 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Joining King on the first team defense was lineman Eddie West.  The 6-0, 215-pound senior recorded 80 tackles, 19 of them for loss, four sacks and eight quarterback pressures.  He also had a blocked punt, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries, returning one for a touchdown.

Trebeaux Broussard earned a first team offense nod at offensive lineman.  The 6-1, 230-pound senior graded out at 94 percent with 42 pancakes and no sacks allowed.

Fellow Milano senior Keaton Popham earned All-Brazos Valley all-academic honors.  Popham is currently ranked fifth in his class, has a 3.30 grade-point average and is a member of the National Honor Society.

The group helped the Eagles to the best recorded in program history in 11-2 before falling in the third round of the postseason.
