Mile High Prep Report 1A League Awards.

Special Thanks to all the Referees this season. This would not be possible without you!

Mile High Prep Report 1A League Awards.

My second annual All-League Awards.  1 Player Per Offensive and Defensive Team If you make offense or defense you will not be on both.  I will pick a Player of the League, Coach of the League, Special Teams Player of the League, and Surprise Team of the League.  If you would like a certificate, let me know and will mail you one or email them to you. Also, I do miss people if I missed someone let me know and I will look.

Remember these League Awards are from Mile High Prep Report not CHSAA or the Leagues themselves! Those should be announced by CHSAA and the Leagues at a later time!!!

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.  I will give a least 1 or 2 whole units an award.  Just know that everyone on this list needs a good offensive line!
