That’s a tough question to answer bc the best player may not have the best stats. I see this with my sons team. We play schools where one kid has twice as many yards as our stat leaders, but we have 3-4 kids who are better than that kid and it’s not close. More talent across the board (and 45-ing every opponent) means fewer touches. Does that mean the opponents kid is more valuable? Maybe to his team, but not overall. Personal opinion, but if a kid isn’t on one of the top 5 teams in state, I don’t think they should be considered for MVP. (I really don’t know….is MVP even a real thing at this level or is this hypothetical?)
