Five Seahawks Named to All-PSL Football First Team

The Puget Sound League announced its inaugural 2024 All-PSL football team in November.

The Peninsula Seahawks, who finished the season with a 4-6 record (3-3 in the PSL), had five players named to the Nisqually Division first team, with 12 Seahawks recognized overall.

Senior Mana Smythe and junior Royal Charles were standout selections, each earning two first-team honors: Smythe for quarterback and punter, and Charles, a 6-foot-2, 250-pound junior, as both an offensive and defensive lineman.

Joining Charles on the first team was his older brother, senior offensive lineman Prince Charles. Senior Hayden Bundy earned first-team recognition as a defensive back, while senior linebacker Wyatt Abrigo secured his second consecutive first-team nod.

The second team featured senior running back Kobe DeJohnette, junior wide receiver Trever Bingham, senior offensive lineman Dylan Bina, sophomore defensive lineman Asher Epstein, junior linebacker Nehemiah Grandorff, and senior defensive back Jake Akiskalian.

Junior running back Jacob Martin received honorable mention honors.

The Seahawks landed in third place in the Nisqually Division behind Lakes and Capital and ended the season with a 29-9 loss to Kennewick in the 3A district playoffs. Gig Harbor, who beat Peninsula 14-10 early in the season to win the 46th Fish Bowl, had 10 players named to the PSL-Narrows Division team.
