This is the 3rd annual Friday Night Victors All Blog team. It was tough with 16 teams and us picking an offense and a defense. There will be 12 players on each side of the ball plus a kicker and a punter. We reached out to every coach asking for nominations. We heard back from almost everyone. Nobody will be listed twice. We also included our Overall Player of the Year, as well as, Defensive Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year. We also included a Wildcard player, that was too good to keep off of our team. Click on the player’s name and you will see highlights for most of the players.
Overall Player of the Year
QB/DB Cole McElvany; Jr, Milan
Friday Night Victors on McElvany: Year in and year out, Jesse Hoskins and his staff develop great players. Cole is one of those great players. He has the ability to impact the game from not only his QB position but his OLB position on defense.
Offensive Player of the Year
QB Noah Beaudrie; Sr, Erie Mason
Friday Night Victors on Beaudrie: You could probably write a book on Noah. Great player who can affect the game with his feet, arm and head. One of the best offensive players in Monroe County history. He threw for over 5,700 career yards and ran for over another 4,500. Not sure how many other players in Michigan history can say that.
Defensive Player of the Year
LB Christian Lopez; Sr, Riverview
Friday Night Victors on Lopez: Christian was quite simply the best defensive player on the best team that we cover, the Riverview Pirates. Superphysical on both sides of the ball. Reminds many of Pirate great, Cam Rogers (18′)

Selections were made by Chris Schultz with input from Gary. If I missed someone you think should have made it, I apologize. There were many players worthy of a selection. This was the hardest year selecting a team since we started doing this. Let’s celebrate those who made it, instead of complaining about those that didn’t.
Congrats to all the Friday Night Victors players that made the MHSFCA all state football teams!
