After months filled with excitement and tears of happiness and sadness, the fall sports season is officially over in the Gainesville area.
The end of the season marks the release of the Gainesville Sun's All-Area teams. As such, we'll be releasing 12 teams for five fall sports (football, volleyball, swimming and diving, cross country and golf).
All teams can be viewed on Gainesville.com/sports/high-school. For these sports, we're picking a Player of the Year — the athlete we and area coaches thought was the best.
However, we want to give you, the fans, the chance to make your voice heard.
That's why we're releasing Player of the Year polls to accompany each All-Area teams. Each of the first-team nominees in a respective sport will be a candidate.
Below is the poll for who the best Big School Defensive Football Player was in 2025. We released this team on Tuesday, Jan. 6. There are 12 nominees from which to choose, and you can vote as many times as you'd like. The poll closes at noon, Sunday, Jan. 11.
Please share this poll with family and friends, and congratulations to all those on the All-Area teams and their families!
