York-Adams League player earns 2-A all-state football recognition from high school coaches
A standout kicker from York Catholic High School has earned all-state football recognition.
The Pennsylvania Football News has released its small-school selections for its second annual Coaches Select All-State teams.
Fighting Irish junior Nick Andrasi is a second-team selection to the Class 2-A team.
The Class 3-A, Class 2-A and Class 1-A teams were released on Saturday. The 6-A, 5-A and 4-A teams are set to be released on Sunday.
The Pennsylvania Football Writers all-state football teams were released earlier in the week.

The 6-foot, 200-pound Andrasi was a special-teams weapon for the Irish, who finished 6-2 overall.
According to the York Catholic MaxPreps site, Andrasi was 28 for 29 on extra-point attempts and 5 for 7 on field-goal attempts, with a long field goal of 44 yards. He scored a total of 43 points.
On 45 kickoffs, Andrasi had 20 touchbacks and averaged 49.8 yards on his 45 kickoffs. As a punter, Andrasi averaged 33.1 yards on 26 punts, including 11 punts inside the 20-yard line.
High school football head coaches statewide were asked to nominate players to be selected for the Coaches Select teams. For the second year in a row, more than 200 coaches participated in the nomination and voting.
Andrasi was the only York-Adams League player to earn small-school all-state recognition from the coaches.
This year, something new was added — a "PFN Pick" — to each classification. This selection is someone that PFN believed was overlooked and should be on an all-state team.
Following are the PFN Coaches Select Class 3-A, 2-A and 1-A all-state teams.
