Chapel Hill head coach Jeff Riordan, "Keviyan is a rare talent as a 6'5" DE/LT that can run a 4.7 40 and poster dunk a basketball. He is a great kid with all the intangibles you want in an athlete. Hard worker with great character."

Special Teams Player of the Year
Jackson Richardson, 6-4, 175, Sr., KR/PR, Tatum

Tatum football coach Jason Holman, "Jackson Richardson is a great example of what an outstanding work ethic does for a young man. From the time I arrived at Tatum, he put his head down, went to work, and made himself into the player he is today. Great young man and well deserving of the honor."

Demetrius Brisbon, 6-1, 175, Fr., QB, Chapel Hill

Coach of the Year
Jeff Riordan, Head Coach, Chapel Hill
Riordan took over a program with championship pedigree but one that had just six wins over the three previous years when he arrived in 2020. Chapel Hill has two state championships in their history, 1989 and 2011 and a finalist appearance in 2010.
Riordan led the Bulldogs to a magical run to the semifinals before gut-wrenching loss to Austin L.B.J. in the final seconds and Riordan said, "what made this team special was how we rode the waves of emotions and the ups and downs and took on and survived whatever adversity we faced, including the three-game losing streak early in district play. We as a program were so resilient including everyone, coaches and players rising to the occasion when we went with a freshman quarterback during our loss to Palestine. And we found new energy and the ability to raise our level every week and I'm not sure we ever actually reached our peak and still were so close to playing for a state championship."
