1. Best game- Lewis County 33 Nicholas County 30. The Lions fought back from an 18-0 3rd quarter deficit and a 30-19 defect with less than 5 minutes remaining.

2. Best offensive, defensive, special teams player I saw this year.
Offensive- Patrick Towles, Highlands.
Defensive- Cody Lawhun, Lewis County. The senior DT racked up 34 tackles for loss and 20+ sacks for the #3 defense in 3A.
Special Teams- Burgy-Vanhoose, Pikeville. He had a bad game inte one I seen him(Fairview). But in warmups and everything you could tell he was a born kicker.

3. Best Ironman- Mackenzie McGlone, West Carter. He was the Comets leading rusher, second leading receiver, and even played some QB on offense. And racked up over 100 tackles and had 2 returns for TDs.

4. Best Play- Jarrett Parker's strip and score with under 2 minute's remaining to give Lewis County the win over Nicholas as Nicholas was trying to run down the clock.

5. Most surprising team(s)- Lewis County and Mason County. Lewis was 8-3 with their first winning record since 1988, first win over Mason since 1988, first district title since 1985, and first ever win over Russell. Mason was 2-8 and missed the playoffs for only the second time under Coach Buchanan. Mason was a preseason top 10 team in 3A.

6. Greatest moment from the season- Lewis County defeating Russell for the first time in school history and clinching the district title at the same time.

7. Final Thoughts on realignment- Have only two teams from each district make playoffs.
