Four members of the Madison Bulldogs football team have been named to the Class 11A All-State Team, as voted on by the South Dakota High School Football Coaches Association. Cole Klingbile, Shane Veenhof, Ben Brooks, and Israel Ouverson represent the Bulldogs on the team due to their accomplishments on the field this season.Â
Klingbile was one of four defensive lineman named to the All-State team. A two year starter at defensive end, he finished his senior year with 63 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a team high 8.5 tackles for a loss. Â
Junior Shane Veenhof made the All-State team as a defensive back. After missing the first three games of the year with an injury, he returned to intercept six passes in just seven games. He had five total touchdowns, including 1 on defense and 1 on special teams.Â
Senior Ben Brooks did a little of everything in his third season as a starter for Madison, and fittingly made the All-State team as an athlete. Brooks led Madison in rushing with 649 yads and 10 touchdowns. He added 334 receiving with 3 scores, and also completed 36 passes for 550 yards and 3 touchdowns. On defense he finished with 39 tackles and 2 interceptions, returning one for a score.Â
Israel Ouverson made the All-State team as an honorable mention. A starter for Madison since his freshman year, Ouverson played every game while anchoring the offensive line. On defense he recorded 55 tackles and 3 sacks. He also had a team high 3 fumble recoveries.
