Congratulations to Gabriel Hardy for winning the Golden Gerka award for week #5! Gabe has become our first repeat winner, and simply personifies what this award is all about. The Golden Gerka is not about talent or touchdowns (both of which we need), but from the beginning of practice on Tuesday all the way through the game on Saturday, Gabe brought the most consistent level of intensity, hunger, and hard work. There were many players’ names mentioned because alot of players have really worked hard and left it all out on the field Saturday against Fernley, but Gabe has once again risen to the top. His great week of practice was even outdone by his highlight-reel-worthy touchdown saving tackle in our game Saturday. Gabe, and X-man on the D-line, ran down a Fernley running back from behind (who had eluded all our best tacklers and would have otherwise scored) and tackled him at the 10-yard line. Unsatisfied with the result Saturday (as all of us were), Gabe refused to take his pads off and watched the Renegades game in full gear, helmet nearby just in case he was called into the game. Now as I said alot of players have practiced well and had a great game, but Gabe is simply on another plane of intensity right now. If all our players would bring Gabe’s energy to practice and our games I think we could beat the New Orleans Saints. Keep it up Gabe, and no one will take that golden jersey away from you!
