MileHigh Prep Report Class 2A Football End of the Season Awards
2025 Class 2A End of the Season Awards. 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! I will also try and avoid giving multiple awards to just 1 player, so if you get Player of the Year, I will give awards to other players for more recognition!
These awards are not from CHSAA!! These are from MileHigh Prep Report and have no affect 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!
