Aaron Frye’s Five Touchdowns Lead Clay-Chalkville to 6A Title, Earns MVP Honors

December 7, 2025

BIRMINGHAM, AL – Senior quarterback Aaron Frye delivered a masterful performance, accounting for five total touchdowns to lead Clay-Chalkville to a 38-21 victory over Saraland in the AHSAA Class 6A state championship. His dominant effort on Friday night at Protective Stadium earned him the game’s Most Valuable Player award, capping a brilliant season and a perfect 15-0 record for the Cougars.

Frye was a dual-threat force that the Saraland defense could not contain. The Alabama State signee ran for 192 yards and three touchdowns on just 15 carries. His scoring runs covered 39, 4, and 56 yards, each showcasing his exceptional speed and vision. Through the air, he was just as effective, completing 8-of-10 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

His first major impact came on a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jacari Johnson that opened the scoring for the Cougars. Later, facing a critical fourth-and-8, Frye connected with Nasir Ray for a 37-yard touchdown, a play that stifled Saraland’s momentum and extended Clay-Chalkville’s lead.

“This is amazing,” Frye said after the victory. “We put in a lot of work for 11 or 12 months after our season got cut short last year. To go on this journey with my brothers is the best feeling I could have. We left it all on the field.”

Frye’s performance cemented his place as one of the state’s elite quarterbacks. He became just the third signal-caller in Clay-Chalkville history to pass for over 2,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season.

Head coach Stuart Floyd praised his quarterback’s development and clutch play. “Alabama State is getting a steal, and I hope everyone knows that,” Floyd stated. “When you pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000, you put yourself in elite company. He’s as good as they come.”

On the biggest stage of his high school career, Aaron Frye stole the show, leaving no doubt who was the most valuable player in the stadium and securing Clay-Chalkville’s fifth state championship in program history.
