Weekly Tough Guy Awards Return

9/03/2010 | By Shawn J. Soper, Sports Editor

BERLIN- Most of the accolades in football at any level are reserved for the glamour guys, the golden-armed quarterbacks and fleet running backs who put points on the board and thrill the crowds, but the weekly 'Tough Guy' award is handed out to the Decatur player who most exemplifies the spirit and Seahawk football.

Started seven years ago by Atlantic Physical Therapy president Bob Hammond, the weekly ATP 'Tough Guy of the Week' award acknowledges the efforts of an individual player, or sometimes a unit on the team, that do the little things to help the team win that don't necessarily show up in the box score.

The ATP 'Tough Guy' award recognizes those players. After every Decatur game, Hammond presents a trophy to the tough guy of the week. At the end of the season, a 'Tough Guy of the Year' award is presented to the player who best represented the qualities of the award week in and week out during the season. The Seahawks open the season at home tonight against Rising Sun.
