The Valley Division featured outstanding individual performances, led by Franklin senior Henry Moore, who earned Valley Division MVP honors after an impressive two-way season. Moore finished with 951 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, averaging 95.1 yards per game, while also contributing 14 total touchdowns, 7.2 tackles per game and two interceptions.
Ingraham senior Logan Ruddell was named Offensive MVP after a record-breaking season on the ground, rushing for 1,499 yards and 22 touchdowns while averaging 166.6 yards per game. Ruddell made school history during a 50–0 victory over Garfield, surpassing the previous single-season rushing record of 1,293 yards held by former Ingraham standout Greg Lewis, who went on to play at the University of Washington and in the NFL with the Denver Broncos.
Ruddell’s historic performance included 268 rushing yards and six touchdowns in that game alone. Lakeside senior Owen Smith earned Defensive MVP honors, while head coach Mike Lengel was recognized as Coach of the Year and Franklin assistant coach Keiwuan Miller earned Assistant Coach of the Year recognition.
The division’s depth was evident throughout the All-Metro First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention selections, with Franklin, Ingraham, Lakeside, Garfield and Nathan Hale all represented. Franklin also had a special family storyline with brothers Cordè and De’Vion Frazier earning All-League recognition.
Other standout performers included Garfield quarterback Josiah Montgomery-Irving, Lakeside running back Alex Andreasson and a strong collection of playmakers and linemen across the division.
