Emhoff first team all-state catcher via INA

DES MOINES - Collecting his second straight all-state accolades to cap his career, West Fork catcher Clay Emhoff was voted first team by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Emhoff, a third team utility player by the INA a year ago, batted .500 as a lead-off hitter for the Warhawks.

He helped lead coach Lance Thompson's team to a 22-5 record, falling in the Class 1A District final to eventual state champion Mason City Newman.
