Louisburg senior Andy Hupp was a fixture on the Wildcat defensive line this past season and several other people took notice.

Hupp was recently named to the Kansas Football Coaches Association All-State first team in Class 4A. It is just one of many honors Hupp has come to receive since the season began.

“Andy put in a ton of work over the past four years in the weight room, both during the school year and during the summer,” Louisburg coach Robert Ebenstein said. “Andy made huge gains even when school was not in session last spring, because he wanted it. I was very pleased to see that the other coaches in 4A recognized his hard work and skill and voted for him to be all-state.”

Last month, Hupp was selected to the All-Frontier League first team on defense following a season that finished with 49 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Hupp was a two-way all-league player as he was also named to the all-league honorable mention team.

“Andy has been a very selfless player in this program,” Ebenstein said. “Andy has taken varsity reps at every offensive position except for center, but he would have done it if we asked him to. So I am so pleased to see his approach to the team first and hard work pay off with one of the best individual honors you can receive.”
