Ninety three New Jersey scholastic football players have been selected as 2020 Mini Max High School Award winners, it was announced by Maxwell Football Club president Mark Dianno.
“This year’s group of Mini-Max winners were challenged by more than just their on-field opponents,” Dianno said. “They had to contend with circumstances of the pandemic impacting their families, communities, schools, teachers, academics, practices, coaches, and games. Yet they consistently rose to meet those challenges and performed extraordinary feats on the fields, in their classrooms and in their respective communities.
“On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and all the members of the Maxwell Football Club, we congratulate and salute this exceptional group of student-athletes on being 2020 Mini-Max Award winners and wish them much success in their future endeavors.”
Players were nominated by their coaches throughout the season and were evaluated based on criteria that includes: Football performance; Academic performance and community service.
The Maxwell Football Club will select one player from the group of Mini Max winners as the winner of the New Jersey Player of the Year. The state player of the year will be announced on Jan. 25.
The winners of the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware Player of the Year awards will be candidates for the Maxwell Football Club’s 35th Jim Henry Award as the outstanding player in the region. The winner of that award will be announced on Feb. 1.
