Simone Awards
The Thomas A. Simone Memorial Football Award is present yearly to the best high school football in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. The award was created in 1931 by Dr. D.M. Nigro. And continued until Dr. Nigro's death in 1976. The award was reinstated by Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Simone as a tribute to their 12-year old son Tommy. The award is selected by a vote of the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Association (GKCFCA), head coachs in the metro area and selected media members.
