This award is given to one male and one female middle school athlete from each school in the Ohio High School Athletic Association and is the highest honor an athlete can receive from our school.
The purpose of this award is to recognize these outstanding athletes who each exemplify the ideals of sportsmanship. Some of these ideals and qualities, which Mr. Griffin himself displays, are integrity, leadership, a positive attitude, academic discipline, humility, and volunteerism.
Archie Griffin is a two-time Heisman Trophy winner from The Ohio State University. During his high school and collegiate career, Mr. Griffin demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, integrity, and ethics.
Congratulations to Grant and Abby for their outstanding achievements! The Big Walnut community is proud of you both!
