Here were southwest Missouri's high school football statistical leaders for 2023

Here were the 2023 high school football statistical leaders for southwest Missouri at the end of the season. All stats were either from MaxPreps or submitted by coaches or the team's designated statistician.

We did not receive stats from Buffalo, El Dorado Springs, Hillcrest, Miller, Monett, Pierce City, Salem, Sarcoxie, Skyline, Waynesville or Willow Springs. If a coach or representative reaches out to Wyatt Wheeler at wwheeler@news-leader.com with stats, he will add them to the story.
