Nominations are being accepted for the 2015 Dr Pepper Most Inspirational Player Award that will be presented at December’s National University Holiday Bowl game.
For the sixth straight year, Dr Pepper and the Holiday Bowl are teaming up to reward a deserving high school student-athlete who might often be overlooked.
The program aims to recognize the unsung heroes of local high school football teams. The award seeks a San Diego County high school football player who, through their presence, actions and words of encouragement, serves as an inspirational example to their teammates.
This individual might often be overlooked on the field, yet inspires his teammates and coaches through his commitment, positive attitude and willingness to persevere through adversity.
The winner of the Dr Pepper Most Inspirational Player Award will be presented a $2,000 scholarship during an on-field presentation at the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 30, at Qualcomm Stadium. All applications must be received by Dec. 4.
All San Diego County junior or senior football players are eligible for the award. Visit SanDiegoBowlGames.com for more information and for the application form to nominate a student-athlete.
Nomination submissions should include 250 words or less about why a player should be chosen for the award.
Applications may also be mailed to the following address: Holiday Bowl, Attn: Dr Pepper Most Inspirational Player, 9449 Friars Road, Suite L-55, San Diego, CA 92108.
Mar Vista High School’s Hugh Anthony was the recipient of last year’s award. Now a senior, Anthony leads the Mariners (7-2) with three sacks.
The Dr Pepper Most Inspirational Player is supported by JackFM and the Kiwanis Club of San Diego.
