Class 1A Football End of the Season Awards

Class 1A Football End of the Season Awards

My 2019 Class 1A End of the Season Awards.  Remember these are not CHSAA official but are Mile High Prep Reports Awards Winners.  Picking is never easy and usually takes me a while to decide on any of these awards. I physically could not make every game, so I used stats and tried to watch any film available.  I will not lie, and I leaned heavily towards teams that made the playoffs for picking First/Second team all-State.  If you would like an award/awards feel free to message me on Facebook, Twitter, or Email me at anthony5910@gmail.com

Quick Note: If your team has not posted stats it is very hard for me to give awards to players with no stats even if your team is doing good, I cannot guess stats.

One other Note: Being a lineman in high school it also hurt me inside not giving any offensive lineman awards.  Just know that everyone on this list needs a good offensive line!
