Led Abbott with 1,598 rushing yards, including 491 in his last two games, as the Panthers made a run to the state semifinals before being defeated by May.
Motley County’s main man from his running back position, he will look to avenge the Matadors’ 2019 state title game defeat when they take on Strawn next week.
Has stepped up in a big way for the Greyhounds in their backfield, including a 292-yard, six-touchdown rushing performance against Richland Springs last week that earned Strawn a spot in the state title game.
SB Griff Rigdon (Sr.), Strawn
The other half of the Rigdon brothers, he has been just as big of a contributor out of the backfield for Strawn, rushing for 191 yards and four touchdowns last week against Richland Springs.
Led Oglesby in passing yards and rushing yards, while also contributing from his safety position as the Tigers advanced to the area round thanks to their first-ever win over Calvert in the bi-district round.
A force on both sides of the ball for the Wildcats, he rushed for 258 yards and six touchdowns against Happy in the state semifinals to earn Westbrook’s first-ever state title game appearance.
Water Valley’s main man out of the backfield and also a key player at linebacker defensively, he helped lead the Wildcats to a 12-1 record on the season.
Threw for 1,363 yards and 35 touchdowns while adding 782 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season as Benjamin went 10-1 after being knocked out in the bi-district round of playoffs.
