2025 MFCA All-State Football Honors Released for Class 3, Class 4 Teams

With champions from Class 3 Seneca and Class 4 Kearney leading the charge, see which other Show-Me State stars made the Missouri Football Coaches Association all-state teams

Seneca High School senior running back Roman Miller was named Class 3 Offensive Player of the Year by the Missouri Football Coaches Association after helping guide the Indians to the Class 3 state championship in 2025. / David Smith

A bunch of things need to break right to win a state championship, and a lot of things went right for the Seneca Indians and Kearney Bulldogs in 2025.

The Indians shook off a loss in the regular-season finale and found their way back to the Class 3 Show-Me Bowl for the third straight year. This time, guided by Class 3 Coach of the Year Cody Hilburn, they beat Lift for Life Academy 33-26 to claim their third championship in program history.

Of course, having good players helps, and the Indians finished with seven first-team all-state selections among their 10 total honorees, including Offensive Player of the Year Roman Miller and Defensive POY Jace Renfro.

Kearney was even more dominant in Class 4, rolling to a 14-0 finish with a 21-14 Show-Me Bowl win against Hannibal for the Bulldogs' second title in three years and sixth overall.

Guided by Class 4 Defensive Player of the Year Isaac Beaver and Offensive Player of the Year Carter Temple, the Bulldogs never allowed more than 24 points to any opponent, averaged 41.4 points on offense, and finished with 10 all-state selections, including seven first-teamers (2 offense, 4 defense, 1 special teams).

See all of the MFCA selections for Class 3 and Class 4 below.
