On December 15th, 2015, In the Game Sports Network gathered the greatest football talent across South Georgia into one room in order to recognize and honor the players and teams responsible for an unforgettable 2015 season. Schools from across the region united to remind us what this great sport is all about: the development of young student-athletes into better men and members of society.
Despite the presence of an abundance of talent and trophies, humble gratitude filled the room. Thomasville Ford’s Dave Rose introduced keynote speaker Brian Jordan, former star of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Braves, who led the charge and set the tone for the evening. He preached to over three hundred players, family members, and coaches about goal setting, relentless pursuit of their dreams, and how his faith powered it all.
Following that, each of the twenty schools awarded their Offensive and Defensive Most Valuable Players of the Year, noting incredible leadership and performance on their respective teams. Then, taking it one step further, In the Game Sports Network and our sponsorship partners crowned the top players and coaches across all of the schools in seven different categories.
As a night filled with inspiration, laughter, and fellowship, it was a suiting end to remarkable 2015 season. We wish the best of luck to each and every one of these young men as they move forward in their careers and their lives.
