“Officially Official” – Derrick Kuykendall & Luke Luna – Casa GrandeĬasa Grande has waited a long time to be named state champions. Here he had to strike a pose to let his teammates catch up after a big kick return for a touchdown. Jacobs was one of the most dynamic athletes in the 2021 season. He looked even more like a Man of Steel when he gave some love to some young fans after a touchdown.

Hall was a bit of a superhero for Mountain Ridge this year, with over 1,200 receiving yards and hauling in 18 touchdowns. “Man of the People” – Terrance Hall – Mountain Ridge After a hard-fought win against Queen Creek, Adams showed that applied to his dance moves as well. Group 2 “The Victory Formation Shuffle” – Quaron Adams – ChandlerĪdams is known for being elusive on the gridiron, breaking big plays and being the home run hitter for the Chandler Wolves. Here he is walking it out after a hit in the backfield. Jax Stam has made so many big plays in his career, it feels like he’s been beating players up for the Lions for like eight years now. The Brophy defensive lineman and Texas commit is also fleet of foot as he shows off his speed after blocking a punt in the regular season. But after beating your rival for the first time since 2012? Worth it. “Friendly Fire” – Russell “Deuce” Davis – Hamiltonĭavis delivered plenty of big hits on opponents this year, but in this case, it was delivered on teammate Chandler Davis. This Basha team was not short on options when it came to pregame and celebation moves. In this iteration, he teams up with quarterback Demond Williams in some pregame choreography. New year, new team, same moves for the defensive back. We start with Martin, the defending champion of this award, to kick off the field. We now present this year’s field, and the order has been selected at random: Group 1 “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work “Cole Martin & Demond Williams – Basha And if you saw the way Arizona Cardinals Special Teams Player of the Year returned kicks and punts this year, you’d want to dance too. That’s exactly what Cole Martin was doing as he was gearing up to return a kick in the Open Division championship. One of the most impressive things about elite players is their ability to stay loose during the season’s biggest moments and biggst games. 2020 – “This is gonna be funnnn” – Cole Martin – Hamilton This reaction came after his second touchdown of the night. There’s so much brotherly love in this that I may need to call Joey Lawrence.Ģ019 – Brenden Rice – Hamilton – “Rivalry Pump Up”īrenden Rice always shows his passion on the field and didn’t need any motivation when Hamilton took on rival Chandler in his senior season. But in this GIF, he was giving some love to younger brother Truitt, who – oh I don’t know – took a 73-yard reception in for a touchdown to earn a playoff win. Many know Higley defensive lineman and All-American Ty Robinson.

2018 – Ty Robinson & Truitt Robinson – Higley – “Brothers Gotta Hug” After rushing for the game’s opening touchdown (he ended the night with six scores) the Perry quarterback ran to the Puma student section to show them some love too. But the 2017 state title game brought something out of him. Purdy wasn’t known for showing too much emotion, good or bad, while on the field. 2017 – Brock Purdy – Perry – “Are You Not Entertained?” He only wanted one dance partner that night, and that was the 6A title trophy. Green capped off a 2,000 yard senior season with a state championship ring. Green – Chandler – “The State Championship Shuffle” Sanders never actually had to beat any other nominees for it, but creating the inspiration for this whole dang thing means he wins the honors for 2015. OK….so this GIF actually sparked the idea of this award. It’s a bunch of celebration, a bunch of personality, and that fun is one of the reasons we all love high school football so much.īefore we look at the field, let’s revisit our past winners: 2015 – Bozton Sanders – Centennial In its fifth year, we present the Best High School Football Celebration GIF Award field. Sport360AZ was there to capture a few glimpses of that this year.
