Coaches agree it is the best night of the year.
For the 33rd time, the Tampa Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, whose membership is a long list of hometown greats, honored scholar-athletes for their achievements on and off the field. Twenty-one seniors with as much mental capacity as muscle were guests of honor Wednesday night at the Doubletree Hotel banquet hall. Of the 21, one was chosen as the winner of a financial award, two others received special awards, and still two more earned recognition from the NFL Retired Players' Association. Armwood coaches had particular reason to be proud. Gaither defensive end Ken Huebner, who will attend USF on a football scholarship, won the Football Foundation's scholarship.
