MileHigh Prep Reports 8-Man Football End of the Season Awards

MileHigh Prep Reports 8-Man Football End of the Season Awards

2024 8-Man Football End of the Season Awards, these awards are from MileHigh Prep Report and are not a prediction of the All-State Awards but Awards that MileHigh Prep Report are giving out!  These awards are never easy, and I go back and forth on who is where and what awards are given out. I also could not be at every game and rely on stats and film.  If no stats are available, I cannot pick your player.  Making the playoffs and having a deep playoff run will matter with these awards! 

These awards are not from CHSAA!! These are from MileHigh Prep Report and have no effect on the CHSAA All-State Awards!

Quick 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!
