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.

    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!!
