Area Football Players Honored With Challenger Awards
December 4, 2012
Several North Escambia area high school football players were among those honored Monday night at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes’ Challenger Award Banquet.
Area Challenger Award recipients included Logan Weber from Northview, Tanner Robertson from Tate, Kyle Harrison from West Florida and Jeremy Gibbs from Jay. One Challenger Award is presented per team, chosen by a secret ballot with all players voting. The player must exemplify Christian values, sportsmanship and academic achievement.
The 43rd annual event, held at the Pensacola Civic Center, hosted members of football teams from across South Alabama and Northwest Florida. Guest speaker was former Cleveland Browns running back William Green.

Great Job Tanner! Im so proud of you! That is a true honor to be awarded that type of award. I know Dillon is very proud of you as well each and everyday as he looks down on you! We miss you & look forward to seeing you graduate soon!! Love you guys!
Congratulations to all of these young men. What a great thing to represent your team and family members well by standing up for your beliefs. We know Logan personally. He has been a guest at our home many times. Congratulations, Logan. You are very deserving of this award!
So proud of you guys!!! Always keep your Christian values all through life no matter what and God will bless you.
These young men exemplify Christian values in a time where it isn’t “cool” to do so. Last night was an awesome experience that I was honored to be at! I am so pround of my son and the example he tries to be everyday on and off the field. Love my Royal #37!!
So proud of each of you. Hope you keep your Christian values for life.
Great job men.
