MileHigh Prep Report Class 2A League Awards.

MileHigh Prep Report Class 2A League Awards.

My Fifth 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. (Email is milehighprepreport@gmail.com) Also, I do miss people if I missed someone let me know and I will look.  Remember these awards are from MileHigh Prep Report and not from the Official Leagues. 

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 1 to 2 Offensive Line Units out.  If you know the exact names and year, please message me and I will add names next to the offensive line.

Just know that everyone on this list needs a good offensive line!
