West Linn sees three players, Jon Eagle win top awards for ’23 season.
No one was better.
They were the cream of the crop and the best of the best.
“They” are the Three Rivers League football all-stars for 2023. And for this year — another year with two TRL teams in the Class 6A state semifinals — the TRL’s best were very, very good.
On offense, the league’s Players of the Year was West Linn senior tight end Gus Donnerberg, while the TRL’s Offensive Lineman of the Year was West Linn junior Jake Normoyle.
On defense, the league’s Players of the Year were Tualatin senior linebacker Jayden Fortier and West Linn senior safety Hunter Haines, while Oregon City senior Ryder Swanson honored as Defensive Lineman of the Year.
West Linn coach Jon Eagle (he led the Lions to an unbeaten TRL championship) was named TRL Coach of the Year.
