Atkinson caught nine passes for 131 yards, including two for touchdowns. James and Greathouse were part of an offensive line that helped the Raiders average 18.7 points per game.
Parsons totaled 47 tackles with four sacks. Jordan Drake picked off one pass that he returned for a touchdown and recovered a fumble to go along with 61 tackles. Jarvis led the Raiders with 110 tackles. He also had three sacks and returned a fumble for a score.
The Raiders also had four players earn honorable mention in the vote by LKC coaches. David Miller was named at safety, Justin Griffin as a utility player, Josh Drake as a punter and Juan Perez as a placekicker. All are seniors.
Rob Caldwell of Tyler Consolidated was named AA coach of the year.
This marked the first year that the LKC split its all-conference honors into Class AA and Class A teams.
