The Missouri Football Coaches Association released its Class 5 and Class 6 all-state teams on Friday, and all three teams for each classification are jam-packed with some of the state's top performers.

In Class 5, Platte County again set the standard. Led by senior four-star quarterback and UCF signee Rocco Marriott and head coach Bill Utz, the Pirates rolled to a second consecutive state championship with a 34-28 overtime victory against Carthage. The win capped a perfect season and reinforced Platte County’s status as the class’s model of consistency, powered by an offense that rose to the occasion when the margin for error was thinnest.

To the surprise of no one, Marriott earned Offensive Player of the Year honors in Class 5, Utz was named Coach of the Year, and nine other Pirates (10 total) earned all-state honors, including six first-teamers (seven total).

Class 6 delivered the ultimate postseason surprise. Lee’s Summit rebounded from an 0-4 start to author a Cinderella run that stunned the state, punctuated by a 41-37 upset of No. 2-ranked Nixa in the state championship game. Senior Preston Hatfield turned in one of the most memorable performances in Show-Me Bowl history, breaking the event’s rushing record with 457 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries to carry the Tigers to an unlikely title.

For their efforts, Lee's Summit swept the top three honors in Class 6, as Preston Hatfield won Offensive Player of the Year, junior Drew Benassi was named Defensive Player of the Year, and head coach Todd Miller was named Coach of the Year.

The Tigers finished with 10 all-state picks, including six on the first team.
