Now that state champions have been crowned, it is officially award season for Missouri’s top high school football players.

The Missouri Football Coaches Association released its 2025 all-state selections Friday. With three teams per classification, hundreds of the state’s top performers and coaches were honored for their contributions on the field this season.

Worth County rolled to the 8-man state championship, defeating Rock Port in a high-scoring 56-46 contest. Tipton defeated Putnam County 39-14 to claim its first Class 1 state championship. Blair Oaks, coming off a Class 3 championship in 2024, completed an unbeaten run in 2025 with a 59-0 victory over St. Pius X (Festus) to win the Class 2 title. Blair Oaks finished 14-0, recording three shutouts in five postseason games and allowing just 15 points during that stretch.

Many of the players who helped guide those programs deep into the state playoffs are represented on the MFCA all-state teams.
