Owls’ Strain earns
Coastal League
Offensive MVP
Journal staff
Mary M. Knight High School senior-football
player Robbie Strain was named the 1B Coast-
al League’s Offensive Most Valuable Player in a
vote of the league’s coaches last week.
“Robbie is well deserving of the offensive MVP
of the league. He was the Owls’ main threat out
of the backfield this year and last year,” MMK
coach Tom Kerr said. “Robbie led the team in
touchdowns and rushing yards. He was also a
two-year captain and a young man of upstanding
character.”
Additionally, the Owls’ Logan Walters (of-
fensive line), Ben Camacho (defensive tackle),
Jordan Wood (linebacker) and Gabe Walters
earned Coastal League honors.
