The duo becomes the Hounds’ first ever LSC North Division selections, as the football team recently made the move over from the South Division.
In the second start of his career, Wood registered a 170.08 passer rating, completing more than 71 percent of his throws for 391 yards and seven touchdowns, with no interceptions. He also rushed for 51 yards to finish with a team-high 442 yards of total offense.
Kalisch helped set the tone early on, recording a pair of sacks and a team-best 10 tackles. He also added a quarterback hurry.
