Maxwell Club to honor seniors
Maxwell Football Club president Ron
Jaworski has announced that the senior
members of the 2012 Penn State football team will be honored as winners
of the club's Thomas Brookshier Spirit
Award in recognition of their commitment, leadership and outstanding effort
in lifting Penn State to an 8-4 finish
this past season.
"What they accomplished on the field
this fall is just astonishing," Jaworski
said. "With the difficult circumstances
surrounding the program, it would
have been easy for many of these players to look for a different situation to
finish their college careers. But they
chose to stay and support their teammates, coaches and university. The
spirit and courage demonstrated in
their actions is worthy of recognition
with the Thomas Brookshier Spirit
Award. They are a very special group
of young men."
The award will be presented as part
of the 76th Maxwell Football Club National Awards Gala, which will take
place at the Harrah's Atlantic City Resort on March 1. Other awards to be
presented at the event include the
Maxwell Award, the Chuck Bednarik
Award, the MFC Collegiate Coach of
the Year Award, the Francis "Reds"
Bagnell Award, the MFC Tri-State Player
of the Year Award, and the MFC TriState Coach of the Year Award. The
Maxwell Football Club will announce
the winners of its high school and professional awards in January.
The event is open to the public, and
tickets can be purchased online at

or by calling 215-643-3833.
