Hashim Jones of the Capital Prep/Achievement First co-op program was named the Sassacus Division’s player of the year. Rockville’s Jonathan Kassamba was named the Uncas Division player of the year.

Coach of the year was Garrett Milledge, who led the Capital Prep/Achievement First co-op squad to a 10-0 record in the regular season and a Sassacus Division title.

The Teddy Netcoh Award, named in honor of a long-time Windsor Locks High football coach who died in 2003 after coaching the Raiders for more than 20 years, was awarded to Giovanni Carter of the Stafford/East Windsor/Somers co-op program.
