Introducing the 2022 All-KMAland Boys Football Team | Sports
(KMAland) — The All-KMAland Boys football team returns in 2022 with a slightly different look.
We’ve heard protests about honoring some of KMAland’s best defenders, so we’re going to do it. Below you will find the 11-man All-KMAland offense and the 11-man All-KMAland defense. There are probably boys who could fall into both categories, but we have limited them to one in order to recognize 22 different athletes.
Without further ado, say hello to the 2022 All-KMAland Boys football team.
Note. Athletes from the Hawkeye Ten Conference, Western Iowa Conference, Council Bluffs, and Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley are eligible to compete on these teams.
