THE BEGINNING

Some seasons ago I was blessed to have been allotted the opportunity to coach a great group of kids. I wanted a way to reward/recognize excellent execution and precedence on the defensive side of the ball. This gave birth to the HITMAN Award. The HITMAN Award was awarded every game day during the season to a single player that displayed excellent DEFENSIVE play during the course of the game. This player may have had the most tackles that game or may have made that momentum changing CRACK! Whatever the scenario may have been, this player was designated as that week's HITMAN. Each week a different player was awarded the Hitman award and got to take the award hammer home and engrave/scratch their name and number into it's handle. At the end of the season we select on of the players from the group of HITMAN Award winners that displayed consistent sound defensive play throughout the season and this HITMAN was awarded the HITMAN Of The Year Award ...welcome to the HAMMER...
