The Martensville High School Royals football team held their annual awards night on Thursday, December 16th in the high school theatre. The event, which was limited to players, parents, and coaches due to COVID precautions, may have looked a little different this year; however, everyone in attendance was happy to celebrate the undefeated team that took home the provincial championship in November.
Coach Tyler Munday took on the role of MC for the evening and introduced all the players, coaches and those that worked hard behind the scenes to keep the season running smoothly.
Head Coach Craig Robertson noted that in previous years coaches chose which players would be receiving awards; however, this year, he asked the players to nominate each other. Robertson also added that he agreed with every award winner chosen.
