Crittenden selected for all-state

Bulldog senior Derek Crittenden was named to the Class A all-state football team for his efforts on the defensive line this season.

The 235-pound defensive lineman has verbally committed to play at the University of Montana, according to Bulldog coach Patrick Dryden.

Crittenden was the only Bulldog selected to the all-state team this year.

The Northwest conference had 15 players selected to the team, including seven from Polson, four from Columbia Falls, two from Ronan and one each from Libby and Whitefish.

Crittenden was awarded honorable mention honors as a junior in 2008 for his play as an outside linebacker.
