For the first MVP award, TexasHSFootball is awarding a Co-Most Valuable Player of The Game to senior running back Nick Proulx and junior defensive lineman Ben Justice.
Proulx was a force on the ground for the Coyotes on Wednesday afternoon, rushing for 251 yards and four touchdowns while adding eight tackles and a forced fumble on defense.
Meanwhile, Justice proved to be strong on the defensive side as well, finishing with 11 tackles, three fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and a touchdown as well.
Following the game, TexasHSFootball caught up with the two award winners to talk about their state title game win.
