This weekend, we will gather the 2025 Hilltopper Football Team one final time for our annual banquet—a moment to reflect, to honor, and to celebrate the season we built together. After watching our highlight video, sharing a meal, awarding varsity letters, acknowledging post-season honors, and recognizing the contributions of our seniors, we conclude the evening with our Superlative Awards.
These awards matter for reasons that go far beyond individual achievement. Each one reinforces a standard of behavior we want carried forward. They illuminate the habits, mindsets, and daily choices that shape a championship culture, offering returning players a clear path to follow.
Our Most Improved Player embodies our belief that games are not won on weekends in the fall. His relentless commitment to self-improvement—through the off-season and in every practice—was matched by his energy, effort, and enthusiasm. His growth elevated both himself and the team.
The Scout Team Player of the Year represents the purest form of selflessness. Operating in near anonymity, he approaches each day with a singular mission: to push his teammates to be better prepared for game day. His contribution is measured not in headlines, but in the competitive edge he gives everyone around him.
In a program full of heroes—where many players earn media attention and postseason accolades—the Unsung Hero stands apart. He does everything asked of him, without expectation of praise, and in doing so becomes indispensable to the team’s success.
Our Most Valuable Player is not simply the one who scores the most points or fills the stat sheet. He is the player whose presence most profoundly shaped our season—as a performer, as a leader, and as a standard-bearer for what it means to be a Hilltopper.
These awards remind us that success is built on behaviors worth repeating. By elevating those examples, we offer every returning player a roadmap for what comes next.
