FNN HEADLINES
HERE IT IS! - Our Best of the Best from the 2023 High School Football Season, by position. Congratulations to these players for making it onto FNN's "The 24" All-Star Team:
The calls have been placed to all four players notifying them of their selection as one of the four young men who have earned the honor of being chosen as this year's FNN Network Player Of The Year nominees. They are:
JACOB CORNEJO - Running Back - Cherokee County Warriors
MASON MIMS - Quarterback - Oxford Yellow Jackets
JIM OGLE - Quarterback - Jacksonville Golden Eagles
MASON TEAGUE - Running Back - Southside Panthers
Each of these four standout players earned their place as a nominee through outstanding season statistical performances on the field, and by appearing at least once on FNN Network's GAME OF THE WEEK over the season.
One of them will be selected through a process that includes a fan vote, an independent five-member panel vote, an FNN internal vote, and an active coaches vote as this year's FNN 2023 Player of the Year.
The recipient will join a distinguished list of winners that include Ron Wiggins (Jacksonville High School, 2018, 2019), Jett Smith (Walter Wellborn High School, 2020), and Jack Hayes (Piedmont High School, 2021, 2022).
The 2023 Player of the Year will be announced during FNN's Annual Awards Night & Dinner on March 20th at the Oxford Civic Center.

There are several returning members to this year's squad, including Kydric Fisher, Kamore Harris, Tae Diamond, Kavion Henderson, Jayden Lewis, and Dre Kirkpatrick, Jr.
Moody leads this year's squad with three members.
Programs placing players on "The 24" for the first time include Southside, Walter Wellborn, Westbrook Christian, Coosa Christian, Oxford, and Weaver.
It should be noted that the four players nominated for FNN's most prestigious post-season PLAYER OF THE YEAR Award were purposely excluded from consideration for "The 24" All-Star team.

FNN Team of the Year nominees are selected from deserving programs from within the FNN immediate viewing area. This award does not require that the nominated team make an appearance on the Game of the Week during the season. All other selection criteria used in choosing our Coach and Player Of The Year are applied, including a fan vote, a five-member selection committee, an FNN internal vote, and an active coach who did not play against any of the four nominees during the 2023 season.
The winning team will receive a TEAM OF THE YEAR trophy to keep, plus they will showcase FNN's new PERPETUAL Team of the Year trophy in their school for the year.
This marks only the second season where FNN will award a Team of the Year. The 2022 winner was the B B Comer Tigers from Sylacauga.
This year's recipient will be announced at FNN's annual Awards Night & Dinner on Wednesday, March 20th at the Oxford Civic Center.
