1. Quincy Burroughs- DB Ribault
Arguably the best defensive back in the area, Quincy Burroughs cemented his name in Ribault middle school history by securing a pick 6 to lead the Colts to their first county championship. Yet Quincy isn’t just a cover corner, he can also make plays with the ball in his hands, like a punt return he had versus Kirby Smith.
His Most Memorable Play: The first series of the game, Burroughs had a one handed interception return for a touchdown against Jeff Davis.

2. Jack Damon- ATH Landon
” He’s the best player on the field” These were the words of coaches who faced Landon when Jack Damon suited up. Damon is an all around athlete, with a non stop motor. He’ll never give up and you have to drag him off the field in order to win. Good luck with that.
His Most Memorable Play: ” I ran a right from the 40 yard line and broke through two tackles for a touchdown versus Kernan”.

His Most Memorable Play: Held Ribault’s receivers to no touchdown catches. The only time it was done all year.
4. Masiah Wells -DE Jeff Davis
Masiah always knew he wanted to play defensive end. So its no surprise that this prototypical end made lots of plays for the Western division champion Jeff Davis Chargers.
