Albany’s Branson Beal is the Big Country Blitz 2024 2A Division II Offensive Most Valuable Player, while Roscoe’s Ivan McCann is the choice for the Defensive MVP.

Beal ran for 1,345 yards and 30 touchdowns, caught 18 passes for 432 yards (a spectacular 36 yards per catch) and seven more scores, and also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.

On defense, the players in the MVP mix were:

Miles’ Jaylen Torres, Hamlin’s Luke White, Albany’s Coy Flowers, and Haskell’s Beaux Shaginaw.

Many more Big Country players delivered quality seasons, and they are listed as the Best of the Rest for 2024.
