Clarion-Limestone junior forward Dan Callen was named the KSAC MVP in voting by the league coaches’ Sunday.
Callen, who will enter his senior season with 1,052 career points, led the Lions to a third straight KSAC title this season by averaging 18.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, 2.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
Joining Callen on the first team are C-L teammate Noah Rankin, Union’s Cole Morris, Venango Catholic’s Brady Kingston, Clarion’s Jonathan Smith and Redbank Valley’s Sam Heeter.

Rankin averaged 14.8 ppg, while Kingston scored a District 9-leading 21.7 ppg and finished his career with 1,094 points.

On the second team are Union’s Lucas Bowser, North Clarion’s Zayn Hargenrader, Cranberry’s Evan Lutz, Keystone’s Austin Ion and Karns City’s Chandler Turner, while the third team consists of C-L freshman Ian Callen, Dan’s younger brother, Clarion’s Cam Craig, A-C Valley’s Austin Heeter, Cranberry’s Brendan Zerbe and Moniteau’s Aaron Marterella.
