Bass was running great routes getting separation and getting open all game to make big plays using his speed to make his scores and provide a great target for his QB. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='285149' first='Karvon' last='Jefferson'] LB/S Lutheran North - 6'0" 195<br>- The Crusaders tackling machine lived up to his usual play in leading the defensive in helping to shutdown the Festus offense with 13 total tackles in the game to win the championship game. Jefferson flies to the ball and means business when he arrives making physical, hard hitting tackles. He reads plays extremely well and has great speed to the ball against the run and on pass coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579282' first='Dylan' last='Rebura'] RB Nixa - 5'8" 175<br>- The senior running back was one of the toughest runners I watched all season and that didn't change in the Class 6 state championship game. Rebura was the workhorse again for the Eagles and had 39 carries for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns as Nixa came up just short in what was a terrific season for the team from Southwest Missouri. Rebura runs like a bigger back with his strength and physical style, but also has the breakaway speed to make big plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Wilkerson </strong>QB Lamar - 5'10" 175<br>- The duel threat quarterback elevated his team to a win and state championship crown with his play in the game.
