The Maxwell Football Club has announced its 2024 Mini Max High School Award winners for Pennsylvania, honoring 55 exceptional student-athletes across the state.
Among the distinguished recipients are four standout players from Schuylkill County:
- Gaige Guers of Blue Mountain
- Michael Gelatko of Marian Catholic
- Noah Dolbin of Nativity BVM
- Leyden Hertz of Schuylkill Haven.
The award recognizes student-athletes who have excelled on the football field, in the classroom, and through their contributions to their communities. Nominees were evaluated based on a combination of football performance, academic achievement, and community service, with selections made from nominations submitted by high school coaches.
Maxwell Football Club President Mark Dianno praised the resilience and determination of this year’s honorees, stating, “This is another exceptional class of student-athletes who will represent the Mini Max Award very well. During their high school careers, they had to contend with circumstances of the pandemic impacting their families, communities, schools, teachers, academics, practices, coaches, and games; yet they consistently rose to meet those challenges and performed extraordinary feats on the fields, in their classrooms, and in their respective communities.”
The Maxwell Football Club also announced the Mini Max Award winners for Delaware and New Jersey. Each state’s Player of the Year will be unveiled at the annual Mini-Maxwell Awards ceremony, scheduled for February 2, 2025, at the Drexelbrook Catering and Event Center in Drexel Hill, PA.
