Presented by the Spring-Ford Touchdown Club
May 22nd, 2016 @ 6:30p in the Spring-Ford High School Auditorium
The Spring-Ford Touchdown Club is pleased to announce the 1st Annual Seeley Awards on May 22nd, 2016 @ 6:30 in the Spring-Ford HS Auditorium. Don Seeley, for whom the awards are named, wrote and reported on Pioneer Athletic Conference athletics for over 32 years for the Pottstown Mercury. Seeley, a member of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Wrestling Hall of Fame, the Spring-Ford Touchdown Club, and the Spring-Ford Alumni Hall of Fame, championed high school athletics, often focusing on the student-athlete who did not consistently appear in the box score. It is in this vein that we, along with his widow, Kathy, facilitate this awards program.
The Seeley Awards will be a celebration of all PAC athletics. Any PAC student-athlete involved in any sport from any member-school is eligible for nomination by his / her coaches and athletic directors. The categories are listed below. Nominations are electronic and should include a write-up, picture and video to be considered. Nominations should be submitted by April 30th, 2016 and can be made at the following web address: http://www.spring-fordfootball.mobi/links
Questions may be submitted to Mike Scarcelle, president of the Spring-Ford TD Club scarcellemichael@gmail.com
