Nesheim's speed on the field helped bring the team back to the state tournament this year, he said, while Macmillan is probably the best player he's coached in his time at Eastview.

Ismale "is so good with the ball on her feet," he said.

Eastview football coach Kelly Sherwin said Johnson has been "a great credit" to the program.

"I don't think he'll miss a beat" as he goes on to play college football with the defending Division I (FCS) national champion Bison, Sherwin said.
