“At least a dozen players were debated by our Selection Committee for medallions this week,” said Rob Yowell, Selection Committee Chair. “These five young men proved worthy and earned their official nomination for the Ed Doherty Award.”

Three of the five players were named on the 56-player Week 3 Watch List™ released on September 10, 2019. All five players will receive their Medallions at an upcoming school event this week. By earning Ed Doherty Award Nomination Medallions, they will attend the end of season Ed Doherty Award Luncheon on December 14, 2019 where one athlete will become the recipient of the Ed Doherty Award.
