February is a special month for high school football in Kansas City. The season might be over, but there are still victories to be celebrated.
Every year, McCarthy Auto Group partners with the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Association (GKCFCA) to award 22 players from Missouri and Kansas with $1,000 scholarships. These players, nominated by their coaches and carefully selected by a GKCFCA-chosen committee, consistently demonstrate excellence on and off the field. They exhibit great values, excellent leadership, and altruistic hearts.
This year’s awards ceremony will also see a new addition—the 12th Man Award. This prestigious award is voted on by the Greater KC Coaches Association and is presented to a distinguished individual who is a great role model for their team, school, and city.
McCarthy Auto Group donates the $22,000 as part of our longtime support of high school football in the Kansas City area. Without further ado, here are the 2015 scholarship winners!
