Introduction to this years awards.
These awards are for the players who give up spending time with their friends to practice, lift weights and study film. The players who give up earning extra money from part time jobs because of the commitment they make to their school, coaches and teammates. The student athletes who stay up late studying not only playbooks, but their everyday academics they must pass to keep playing.
These awards are for the parents who also sacrifice, year after year from the time their kids play peewee football all the way through high school. Going to every game, sitting in ice cold bleachers and Friday night meals out that consist of hot dogs and nacho’s from the snack stand. How about the team moms who volunteer week after week, year after year to do everything from Feed the Team to 50/50 raffles. They are champions!
The coaches who also sacrifice time with their families to shape young men and women, making their high school lives memorable. The same coaches who never hesitate to send me a roster, depth chart or updated statistics. Thank you!
We love this, we love what we do and we do it with a smile. We couldn’t do any of it without the support of you the fans, parents, players and coaches!
The GLC grew this past season, and so did the talent level to go along with it. We wanted to spotlight a few players from each team, along with naming our all-conference classes as well for QB, RB, K and WR.
Each team will have it’s own page as well with players named, also we will be naming our Player of the year, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year and some other hidden surprises as well.
From my family (pictured below) to yours, Thank You and have a blessed holiday season. Enjoy the awards.
Yep, it would be nice for these young men to get some individual validation. They do all of the things you mentioned on Page 1, too!
Nice job with the coverage and recognition of each individual team. I’m sure it not easy and KeeOnSports had an outstanding season just like all of the GLC players you mentioned. Being a bit of a homer, I will say that I enjoyed your coverage of North Olmsted the most. I would also like to mention the entire Offensive Line for the hard work they put in and the effort they gave in each game. LT: Joey Wengstrom has the size, strength and athletic ability to play at the next level. LG: Christian Riggen, I’ve watched him play since youth football, hard nosed young man, very tough. C: Brandon O’Boyle, two way player this season and perfect with every snap. Cowboy strong. RG: Kent Albert, another one that I’ve watched play sports since he was young. This guy is the pure definition of gym rat. Strong, obviously, since he is the lightest Lineman I’ve seen. RT: Jacob Holtz, just a sophomore starting every game. That says a ton considering the competition in the GLC. He is going to be fun to watch next year. Fantastic group of young men and 3 of them return next year.
How did frankie boscarello not make the list when he is first team and a couple guys on this list are 2nd and hm
