2005 Awards Party
The North Carolina Tigers held a successful 2005 Season Awards night on Saturday, December 17th, 2005 at
Woody@CityMarket
in downtown Raleigh. With over 45 players, staff, supporters and guests in attendance, the night was also a chance to recognize and remember the fun and reasons why the Club exists and look back on the some of the achievements from 2005.
The evening began with the ever popular informal “Gag” awards voted for, and by, the players, which were given out (to scenes of much laughter!) by Club President Wes McCallister. Next was an “Aussie style”
Best and Fairest
awards (MVP) presentation. This is where the game votes are given out on a game by game basis, with an updated leader board after each of the seasons games. After gaining an early lead, Tigers Captain,
Jason Heathcote
ran out the winner with a high of 27 votes, followed by equal second place newcomer James Carter and the popular Philip Schriebman both with 17. Newcomer Pat Shufelt, came in at 3rd place with 13 votes and clearly also had a great impact on the game after only a few training sessions and showed how quickly this sport can be learned and mastered with the right attitude and plenty of enthusiasm.
The Tigers presented the inaugural
Clubman of the Year
award by honoring the popular
Scott Morris
for his all-round efforts, and willingness to grow the Club and the sport on and off the field in 2005. Scott joined the Club in 2001 and has now contributed in playing, leading trainings, umpiring, and this year added boundary umpiring at the USAFL Nationals to his growing list of skills and experience.
Other awards presented on the evening were:
Leading goal kicker
- Jason Heathcote
Hardest at training
- Wes McCallister
Striving for excellence
- Hamp Maxwell
Most determined
- Wes Hayutin
Most improved
- Phil Schriebman
The Tigers next season begins with pre-season training and the Annual General Meeting to be being held in January 2006. The first EAFL scheduled season game is in April 2006 in Raleigh.
