Montgomery QB Club cancels for 2020

Many former winners from the area

Special to Elmore Autauga News

The Montgomery Quarterback Club has announced cancellation of its 2020 season. The Board of Directors took this action after reviewing a number of factors: the inability to hold the Club’s annual May fundraiser, the possible reduction in corporate sponsorships due to the status of the economy, the difficulty already encountered in getting speakers to schedule for the fall, the uncertainty around the fall football season, and the concerns of members regarding social distancing at Club meetings.

The Quarterback Club has been meeting during the fall since 1941. Its main mission is to support high school football in the River Region. The Club is exploring ways to continue its Players of the Week Awards this fall while not holding regular meetings.

Board members are hopeful that the Club can reorganize in early 2021 and come back stronger than ever for the 2021 season.

In 2020, three players were named Player of the Week from schools in Elmore-Autauga counties. Alex Johnson of Edgewood Academy was named Private School Player of the Week on September 27. Two players were named Public School Player of the Week from the area. On August 30 Tyquan Rawls from Wetumpka was named and October 4 Tray Duncan from Stanhope Elmore High School was also honored. Rawls was also named the Public School Player of the Year for 2019.
