Here's a look at the 2022 SVM Football All-Area Team, as well as the final stats leaderboard.

Amboy co-op football coach Scott Payne led his team to a 10-3 record and second-place finish in the Illinois 8-Man Football Assocation this past season, earning him Sauk Valley Media Coach of the Year honors.

The tears flowed as freely as the snow flurries on Friday at April Zorn Memorial Stadium, but the sting for Amboy-LaMoille-Ohio will only be temporary. After the hurt of the 44-36 loss in the I8FA state championship game fades, it will spark a burning desire to return next year.
