December 28, 2010 12:00 AM

The All-Region 3-AAAA football team is out and if you were expecting any surprises, there weren't any.

The list of players chosen is a reflection of just how strong the region was this year, and the top honors went to a pair of Northwestern Trojans. The team won the Class-AAAA Division II state championship, and its 15-0 record marked the first time in school history the Trojans went undefeated.

The Player of the Year is Northwestern quarterback Justin Worley, who has rewritten the South Carolina record book for passing and has committed to Tennessee. Worley was recently named Gatorade's National Player of the Year.

Northwestern's Jimmy "Moose'' Wallace was named Region Coach of the Year. He has directed the Trojans to three straight state championship games.

HOOPS MANIA: 10th annual Linburg Moody Holiday Classic boys basketball tournament begins at Northwestern High school.

Just up the road, the Exxon on the Run girls tournament begins its three-day run at York Comprehensive.

Each has a field of eight teams and there will be four games today and Wednesday, with the championship, third place, fifth place and seventh place games on Thursday.

"We're excited about our field, and like Northwestern, we have an Australian team playing,'' York coach Paula Blackwell said. "We play Broome at 2 p.m. and the Australian ladies right after. We even have an Australian flag for them to go with their anthem.''

At Northwestern, Trojans coach Mike Gossett will honor football coach Jimmy Wallace in what could be an interesting ceremony. Wallace will toss a ceremonial jump ball prior to Northwestern's game at 6:30 p.m.

"This is something that I have wanted to do, honor someone who has played a big part in Northwestern's athletics over the years,'' Gossett said. "And what a better person to begin with than Coach Wallace.''

No. 8: The Rock Hill Bearcats finished eighth last week in the 45-team King of the Mat tournament at North Davidson (N.C.) High School.

Other South Carolina teams were Nation Ford (16), South Pointe (19) and Greenville.

Rock Hill's Weston Beck was the 135-pound champ with a 3-2 decision over Parkland's (N.C.) Adonis Wright. His twin brother, Seth Beck scored a 10-4 decision and won at 140.

The other local title went to Nation Ford's Stewart Snodgrass in a 5-2 decision over Mooresville's (N.C.) Hunter Hefner.

And from this writer, who is always on the lookout for good names, several stood out at North Davidson but there were two that will go on my all-time best list: Forsyth Country Day's Stout Watson, the champ at 171, and Soddy Daisy's (Tenn.) Turbo Smith, second at 152.

Top 20 team scores

1. (tie) Parkland, Soddy Daisy 224; 3. Upper Perkiomen 167.5; 4. Mooresville 158; 5. Lake Norman 145.5; 6. Davie 127.5; 7. St. Stephens 114.5; 8. Rock Hill 106; 9. West Wilkes 97; 10. T.C. Roberson 87.5; 11. Croatan 86;12. Central Davidson 82.5; 13. East Gaston 75; 14. Forsyth Country Day 72; 15. McMichael 71.5; 16. (tie) Nation Ford West Lincoln 70; 18. Bob Jones 66; 19. South Pointe 62; 20. Olympic 59.5.
