First of all, we would like to thank the BGR community for helping us nominate the three men we left out that you thought were most deserving. We hope to do this postseason and preseason yearly to bring a positive light to this forum and give the kids something. The Preseason Five will be presented (either by mail or hand delivered) a ceritificate and this postseason we will be giving plaques. Hopefully we can create two annual awards that players are genuinely glad to have received.

Members of Bluegrass Rivals, I present to you your very first Preseason Mountain Football Five...

Our mountains are graced with some very special talent and to be one of the final 18 nominees is an honor in itself, however through a three part process these five have been picked by a small committee as your first annual Preseason Mountain Five. Congratulations Mr. Canady, Trent, Messer, Olinger, and Hyde!
