Three Warriors named First Team All-State

Walled Lake Western’s Troy Temple, Donovan Triplett and Liam Vaughan were all named First Team All-State in Division 3 by the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association.

Temple played on both sides of the ball as a safety and wide receiver. The senior finished the season with 89 tackles, eight interceptions, two forced and recovered fumble, as well as four touchdowns on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively, Temple had 600 all-purpose yards with seven touchdowns. He also scored twice on punt returns and took one kick return back for a touchdown.

Triplett was a dominant force in the ground game. He rushed for 2,303 yards, 32 touchdowns and averaged over 11.5 yards per carry. The star junior also had two receiving touchdowns.

Vaughan, who signed with Washington State University, was named First Team All-State for the second-straight year. The 4-year, 2-way starter tallied over 100 pancake blocks and did not allow a single sack his entire high school career. Defensively, Vaughan tallied 31 tackles, 15 for loss, as well as two sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked field goal.
