Since our inception in 2005, TriStateFootball.com has been committed to recognizing excellence on and off the field for high school football across Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana with our annual TSF Year in Review Show and awards.

Our highest honor is the one we reward to our TriStateFootball.com / Blitz 5 Team of the Year. This year’s group of teams is a superb collection of some of the best teams in the entire region. 

Here are this year’s recipients:

  • Cincinnati: Anderson Raptors
  • Dayton: Centerville Elks
  • Kentucky: Cooper Jaguars
  • Indiana: Batesville Bulldogs
