Bogalusa’s Ashton Levi has been named the District 8-3A Offensive Most Valuable Player and Lumberjacks coach Cyril Crutchfield is the league’s Coach of the Year.

This season, Levi, who is a sophomore, threw for 2,914 yards with 31 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Levi also got the job done on the ground, running for 776 yards and 14 touchdowns.

“When we first started playing this season, I wasn’t here for that,” Levi said. “I was here to win games. It’s all about positioning ourselves right for the playoffs.”

Levi said that he doesn’t play to be the MVP, but because he loves the game.

“I play because I love the game. That’s just something to say that Ashton Levi got. I play for bigger stuff than that. I want to play for a state championship. It’s good though. I appreciate the coaches voting me MVP,” Levi said.

Crutchfield led Bogalusa to a District 8-3A title after going 4-0 in league play. Bogalusa reached the second round of the playoffs before being defeated by Lutcher, 54-26, to cap off a 7-3 year in his first season with the team.

“Me winning coach of the year is about what the kids were able to accomplish on the field,” Crutchfield said. “That shows the accomplishment they were able to attain. I’m only as good as they are. They should give that award to the kids.”
