2025 3A MVPs
We do not have as many 3A teams in the area, so Division I and Division II are combined for these awards.
The Big Country Blitz 3A Offensive Player of the Year is Clyde’s Devan Wright.
The Bulldog quarterback threw for 1,393 yards and 18 touchdowns and added 1,433 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground to help lead Clyde to the postseason.

Jim Ned defensive back Breck Lawson is the Big Country Blitz 3A Defensive Player of the Year and could be the special teams player of the year as well if we did that.
