DL: Cade Bazzell, Edgewood senior
For the second straight season, Bazzell was the leader in the trenches on both sides of the ball for the Wildcats. Bazzell rarely missed a snap and led the team with 74 total tackles including 7.5 for a loss from the defensive end spot. “He’s used to playing both at this point but he’s always embraced that,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He’s always been one of the hardest workers and he’s really just a smart football player.”
