The 2017 New Jersey high school football Mini Max Award recipients were announced Wednesday by Maxwell Football Club president Mark Dianno.
According to club's press release, players were nominated by their coaches throughout the season and were evaluated based on football performance, academics and community service.
The recipients will be honored at a dinner held Jan. 28 at St. David the King located in Princeton Junction. The dinner is open to the public and tickets are available on the club's website www.maxwellfootballclub.org.
At the dinner, the Maxwell Football Club will also name one Mini Max winner the New Jersey Player of the Year.
The winner -- along with the Players of the Year from Pennsylvania and Delaware -- will be the candidates for the Jim Henry Award, which is given to the region's Outstanding Player.
