Also, from host Al Mayo:

 

Sorry I'm a bit tardy getting back to you guys but, I'm here now.

 

First of all, this award applies only to VARSITY players.

 

Whenever you place a name for nomination, I need the following to be listed.

 

Player name, position, class (Soph, jr, sr. etc).

 

Stats for the week's performance. Carries, yards gained pass att/comp...tackles etc.

 

Please do not estimate stats. Just telling me a player may have run for 150 yards, won't make the cut.

 

Ideally a listing would look like this---

 

"Bob Smith a 5'1" Tailback from Smithville High School gained 100 yards on 10 carries. He also caught 4 passes for 30 yards in a 14-0 win over Jones High School"

 

OR

 

Bob Smith, a 5'1" QB from Smithville High School completed 15 of 20 passes for 100 yards, and 1 TD as the Smiths beat Jonesville 14-0.

 

Otherwise, post as many players as you like if you think they merit a mention. ALL Players listed will be used on the show as nominees, so their stats and performace will be included. A Ploayer Of The Week will be chosen from the weekly nominees.

 

Thanks in advance for the help, and have a GREAT season!
