PAG METER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
TRE WALKER, SR, CENTRAL GRIZZLIES
A huge force in the middle of the Grizzlies defense. Tre was almost unblockable and was so tough to run against. Tre Walker made 140 tackles with 7 sacks for the Valley Champions and next stop will be playing for the Vandals of Idaho.
PAG METERLINE MAN OF THE YEAR
THEO MEYER, SR, BUCHANAN BEARS
The Bears had the best offensive line in the valley and the best lineman was Theo Meyer. The Bears loved to run behind Theo and when the passing game struggled and everybody knew the Bears would be running, the Bears still ran you over rushing for 3,509 yards and scored 45 rushing touchdowns.
PAG METER UNDERCLASSMEN OF THE YEAR
KENDALL MILTON, SO, BUCHANAN BEARS
Nobody had more hype than Kendall coming into 2017 and everybody wanted to see if Kendall was the real deal and boy he is the real deal!! Kendall finished rushing for 1,514 yards and scored 23 touchdowns.
PAG METER BEST TWO SPORT ATHLETE
BROCK JONES, JR, BUCHANAN BEARS
This was an easy one. Brock is the best Safety in the valley who has an offer already from Arizona State for Football. In Baseball, Brock is one of the top players in the state and already has an offer from Stanford. It doesn’t get any better than that so when schools say it tough to play 2 sports, Google Brock Jones!
PAG METER TWO-WAY PLAYER OF THE YEAR
TREVOR ERVIN, SR, BUCHANAN BEARS
