“This year’s team is full of so much character and talent,” said associate editor Levi Gilbert. “The 501 is blessed with such great student-athletes, not to mention the top-notch bands, cheerleaders, coaches and fans. The 501 does high school football right.
“We’d like to thank all the coaches who took the time to recognize one of their outstanding student-athletes by submitting a nomination. We couldn’t do it without their help and support.”
