Coach Jarret Roy reflected on the season. "We had both 1A and 2A teams in our league, and it made it tough on our players. We nominated 7 players per position, and the coaches voted off of the success they saw from playing throughout the year.  We played 6 different league schools, and all those schools were able to vote on our guys. Jaxson Stevens rushed for 1466 yards, so he was locked in on getting an all-league spot. Robert had a really successful year for us up front. He blocked for a 1400-yard rusher. After all, we had a good year and we broke a couple of school records."

Senior Mason Erwin added, "Trying to make all league was a big challenge. But it felt great to get all league my senior year, It was a big accomplishment. I put a lot of work in during the off season and dropping to 2A was a huge change."

Senior Robert Griffith Jr. commented that the selection "felt great after not playing for two year! All my hard work really paid off, but I wish we went further into the playoffs."
