serve our youth well throughout life, including sportsmanship, 
teamwork, honesty, and the work ethic developed by striving for success 
and working to achieve a common goal.
  Celebrating its 30th year, the NVFHOF is recognizing the efforts of 
players, coaches, officials, and cheerleaders from local youth and 
scholastic football programs, and has inducted a few exceptional

scholarships to help defray the cost of college.
