The Northeast Lakes District recognized the top high school football talent from Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Lorain counties on Monday with the release of the 2025 All-District Football Teams.
Chagrin Valley Conference players were among those recognized.
In Division III, a pair of dynamic playmakers in Geneva’s Bryce Peet and Hawken’s Donovan Moorhead shared Offensive Player of the Year honors. Moorhead led a potent Hawken offense with his arm and size at quarterback, while Peet powered Geneva’s ground game as one of the area’s most physical runners.
In Division IV, Perry’s Bob Gecewich was named Coach of the Year after leading the Pirates to another strong campaign built on balance and defensive toughness. Perry dominated the first and second teams, a reflection of the program’s consistency and depth.
The Division V awards went to a pair of Fairview standouts. Quarterback Burke Lowry earned Offensive Player of the Year, while his head coach, Sean Ranc, took Coach of the Year honors. The duo guided the Warriors to an explosive offensive season and multiple all-district selections.
And in Division VI, Kirtland senior John Silvestro was named Offensive Player of the Year after another trademark season in the Hornets’ powerful rushing attack. Kirtland once again led the area in all-district selections, with players earning honors at nearly every offensive and defensive position.
Here are all of the CVC’s all-district performers:
