O'Rourke takes Golden Helmet

Avon can celebrate. Ryan O'Rourke is the Golden Helmet winner, which goes to Lorain County's top senior, and Matt Kiessling is this year's Lombardi winner, for top defensive lineman.

Coming Friday, he will be The Morning Journal's Football Player of the Year in the All-Star Football Edge, our last Edge of the year.

O'Rourke was a pretty simple choice for the Golden Helmet and the Journal award. He didn't throw an interception until his team's regional final loss 13 games into the season. Ask any coach, and a stat like that is unheard of. He broke practically every passing record at Avon and a few for the county.

What's nice about O'Rourke, is he will be the first to tell you that he couldn't have done any of it without his teammates. What's even nicer is that he sincerely means it.

even though I am a fan of another team in the area, there is no argument over this choice. Well deserved and earned
