Mr. Football 2013

If that's the way it is then I understand, but it should go to the best player on the field, but that's just my opinion.

the award is called mr. football

I agree with both of you on that point.

Sounds Like A Community Service Award..

 

 

Don't start that stuff. McKamey won it because he met all of the criteria and ran circles around the other finalists in GPA, ACT, and citizenship (community service). All of which are major factors in the vote. Those were the same reasons Davis Frank won it several years ago, also from GCA.

 

You guys need to understand that this award is given based on more than just play on the field. One voter I spoke with said actual play and numbers on the field are a small part of what he looks for when submitting his vote for Mr. Football. He considers grades and civic duty just as much as he does statistics on the field. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.

Here's what Bud Adams had to say at the TN Mr. Football Awards this year:

 

"High school football in Tennessee enjoys a great tradition throughout the state and we are pleased to join the TSSAA for the fifth consecutive year in saluting these fine young men at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards," said Adams. "The young men that are recognized with these awards are truly the best of the best! They are selected not only for their football skills, but for their strong character and academic achievements and we're honored to join the TSSAA in saluting them!"

 

I agree that the award is awarded to more than just athletic achievement. It places an emphasis on the classroom as well. They are taking the term "student athlete" into consideration when chosing the winner. Bottom line is, if you want to be Mr. Football, you better have a great year on the field, a super transcript, and strong character refereneces.
