The 2023 Arizona High School Football Season saw record breaking performances, a first-time Open Division Champion, and playoff contenders from every corner of the state. While championships are won as a team, ArizonaVarsity and our partners at Integrity Electrical Services want to make sure that the individual performances that stood out above the rest are properly recognized.
Below, you'll see this year's winners for the 2023 5A Integrity Electric / Arizona Varsity Awards. ArizonaVarsity.com's staff of 10 voters cast their ballots for the 5A winners, and you can view the results of the each vote in our Premium Forum.
