Oswego senior linebacker and Iowa recruit Carson Cooney was named Class 8A All-State by the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association in voting released Wednesday.

Cooney led Oswego to a 9-0 regular season, Southwest Prairie West championship and first-round win over Waubonsie Valley. The Panthers’ season ended with a loss to York last Friday.
