Last but not least, a familiar face to specials MVP.

Luke Willis! Luke has been an all-around weapon for a couple of years now, not only a strong leg, but a danger to the defense of many a team. Good work Luke!

Next up is QB1 Joe Haylock!

Joe continues to impress in his first full season with the seniors. Rushing or passing it doesn't matter, defend one, he'll just do the other. Big plays all year for this young man and thats just what he does🤷.
