I think Braedon Sloan deserves the mention. I was really impressed with his performance in the District Championship game. I thought when we played at home that we had his number as a team and would be able to do the same the next time around and as the dryer ground would prove to be the biggest spoiler. Braedon had a heck of a night. I think no doubt the kid is a once in a blue moon athlete. I work with people who know his family and I hear nothing but great things from this young man. I am a fan of the game and I the kid has got "IT". As far as the top 3 candidates. I hate to try to distinguish why any kid would deserve it better than any other top kid. I have read all the arguments and thoughts as they have came up. For me if you look at what Mr. Mayer did in his Championship game and throughout the season, he seemed to be like the MVP type player to his team and his stats back it up and play in the championship game. Mr. Smith no doubt the same way and just a phenomenal player during his career and season for his team. I don't know if anyone could win a argument between the three kids. But my opinion is just that, only a opinion. I think I give Mr football to Mike Mayer. Reece Smith second and Beau Allen 3rd.

That would be my order if you made me pick. Mayer has a better future in front of him with his potential in my opinion, that also has a lot to do with it for me. Not knocking smith, because you can’t really, but fast WRs that are 6” are a dime a dozen when you get to higher levels.
