Ed Doherty Award luncheon slated for Jan. 9 in Scottsdale

Posted

The Grand Canyon State Gridiron Club announced the annual Ed Doherty Award Luncheon will be Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021 at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch.

The Ed Doherty Award is the State of Arizona’s highest individual high school football honor and is awarded annually to the state’s most outstanding high school football player, according to a press release.

Each week throughout the Arizona high school football season, GCSGC will recognize athletes with Ed Doherty Award Nomination Medallions for outstanding play during their respective games. Earning a medallion means they will attend the end-of-season Ed Doherty Award Luncheon, where one athlete will become the recipient of the Ed Doherty Award.

The Ed Doherty Award Week 3 Watch List for the 2020 Arizona high school football season will be released on Oct. 13. To be eligible to appear on the Week 3 Watch List, a player must have participated during the first three weeks of the current season, recorded an exceptional performance and be in good academic standing.

The first week of Ed Doherty Award Nominees will also be announced on Oct. 13.

In 2019, there were 56 Ed Doherty Award Nominees. Bijan Robinson, running back for Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, was named the 2019 Ed Doherty Award recipient, which marked the first time an individual won the award for two consecutive years.
