Our sixth-annual All-615 Preps teams have been determined by our staff. This year’s Large Class team is made up of players from teams in Class 6A and Division II-Class AAA.
This is the final group of our all-area postseason honors. The Medium Class and Small Class teams were released earlier in the week.
This year’s postseason awards are presented by Lookout Pest Control.
Team of the Year: Oakland Patriots
For the third time under Kevin Creasy, the Patriots ran the gauntlet finishing the season 15-0.
They outscored their opponents 597-127 during those 15 games winning by an average of 31.3 points. The Patriots shut out six opponents and only had one game decided by single digits.
Player of the Year: Andre Adams, Antioch, Jr.
Only a few players in the entire state can make the claim that they had a better season than Adams, Antioch’s standout junior found himself mentioned on the national stage multiple times thanks to several standout performances.
The Mr. Football finalist led the Bears to a 10-2 record, their first double-digit winning season since 1958. He completed 71% of his passes for 3,418 yards and 35 touchdowns with only one interception while also rushing for 855 yards and 13 more touchdowns.
Adams set the state’s single game passing yardage record against Centennial with 507. In a 64-62 win over FRA, he accounted for nine total touchdowns (6 passing, 3 rushing).
Offensive Player of the Year: Larry Sanders, Brentwood Academy, Jr.
Sanders not being a Mr. Football semifinalist came as a shock to us and he showed the state why he should have been a finalist all the way through the DII-AAA championship game.
Carrying the ball 238 times, Sanders finished the year with 1,874 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground. In the Eagles’ championship matchup with nationally-ranked Baylor, he ran for 215 yards and three touchdowns.
Defensive Player of the Year: Matthew Anderson, Ravenwood, Sr.
The Region 6-6A Defensive Player of the Year, there were hardly any plays Anderson did not find himself in the mix on leading a stout Raptors defense.
He put up video game-like numbers in his final high school season totaling 174 tackles, 35 tackles for loss, 8.0 pass breakups, 8.0 forced fumbles, 6.5 sacks, 2.0 safeties and 2.0 interceptions.
Anderson capped off his high school career with a 17-tackle performance in the Class 6A championship against Oakland.
Athlete of the Year: Craig Tutt, Oakland, Sr.
Oakland once again brought back a loaded roster but Tutt was the engine that propelled the Patriots back to another gold ball.
On offense he carried the ball 160 times for 1,168 yards and 22 touchdowns while also recording 43 tackles, nine pass breakups, five tackles for loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles on defense. In Oakland’s semifinal win over Blackman and championship win over Ravenwood he ran 400 yards and 10 touchdowns.
His seven touchdown night against Ravenwood tied a championship game record.
Lineman of the Year: Princeton Uwaifo, Siegel, Jr.
In a region loaded with defensive talent from Oakland, Blackman and Riverdale, Uwaifo stood up to that challenge and earned Offensive Lineman of the Year honors for Region 3-6A.
Week-to-week the 6-foot-7, 325-pound Tennessee pledge graded highly despite having to contend with several elite pass rushers. In two seasons of varsity football he’s only been given one penalty.
Special Teams Player of the Year: Tommy Bauchiero, Brentwood Academy, Sr.
The Eagles have a rich kicking history and Bauchiero added to that chapter with a senior season to remember.
A Rice signee and the 2025 Kicker of the Year, he was 9-of-13 on field goal attempts on the year with two of those misses coming via a block. He had a long of 59 yards and hardly anyone could return his kickoffs as 67 of the 76 he had were touchbacks.
Coach of the Year: Paul Wade, Brentwood Academy
In just two years Paul Wade transformed Brentwood Academy from a two-win team to one that was contending for the Division II-AAA championship against a nationally-ranked program.
The Eagles finished 2025 11-1 with the lone loss coming to Baylor by a score of 28-24. They beat teams by an average of 27.1 points.
