Jan. 2—Several Minco football players earned recognition.

Coming off a campaign that saw the Bulldogs go undefeated in the regular and win a district title, several Minco football players earned district honors for their play. The Bulldogs earned multiple MVP honors, and had Players of the Year at different positions.

The Bulldogs went 10-0 during the regular season and went 5-0 in District A-3 to secure the district title. Minco’s five district opponents only combined to score three touchdowns against the Bulldogs.

Minco ended up going 11-1 during the 2023 season, and the team managed to win a playoff game by taking down Elmore City-Pernell in the first round of the Class A playoffs. Minco’s only loss was a 21-20 defeat to eventual state runner-up Hooker.
