Eleven different players from the “Southern Six” were recently honored with All-State status in Class 6A as announced by The Mississippi High School Activities Association.
And one local standout took home the top individual award as well.
Ocean Springs senior quarterback Bray Hubbard was chosen as the Overall Most Valuable Player as well as the top offensive performer in Class 6A. Hubbard, who signed with Alabama on Wednesday, completed 153 of 219 passes for 2,197 yards and 21 scores through the air as well as running 208 times for 1,760 and 20 touchdowns as he accounted for almost 4,000 yards of total offense his senior season and 41 scores. He also had three interceptions from his safety spot on the defensive side of the ball, which is supposed to be his role in Tuscaloosa.
The two-time Class 6A “Mr. Football” was a three-year starting signal-caller at OSHS, and he completed almost 65 percent of his passes for 5,288 yards and 55 touchdowns while throwing only 10 interceptions. He also ran for just over 4,000 yards and scored another 52 touchdowns while averaging right at 8 yards per carrying and accounting for almost 9,300 yards of total offense in his career.
