High school football players from across the state are vying for the title of Mr. PA Football 2015, and are counting on their fans’ support in order to win it! The contest, which pits well known names on the football field against each other, has fans voting for their favorite athlete in order to determine who will hold the distinction of being Mr. PA Football for the next year.
The student-athletes — who are listed below — were nominated and selected to be amongst the top five high school football athletes statewide through a unique voting process. The fans, media, and coaches each represent one-third of the vote.
Fans can cast their vote at Mr. PA Football webpage. The final voting deadline for the winner of Mr. PA Football is February 8th.
All of the remaining nominees — who are listed below — have been invited to Harrisburg for a day of activities. There will be a finalist luncheon, where all of the finalists will get to meet each other and a few special guests, and a tour of the Capitol presided by PA State Representative and Mr. PA Football Advisory Board Member Ron Marsico. Also, Marian Catholic High School coach Stan Dakosty will be honored at the luncheon and recognized at the banquet for reaching his 300th win. Dakosty is the 12th head football coach in the state of Pennsylvania to achieve the milestone. Later, the finalists will attend the banquet where the Mr. PA Football winner will be announced. University of Pittsburgh head coach and keynote speaker Pat Narduzzi will present the awards. Upper St. Clair High School coach Jim Render will be honored with the Legendary Coach Award during the banquet. CBS 21’s Jason Bristol will be emceeing the event.
