    Riverton High School offensive lineman Kyle Yellowbear was presented last Friday night with the John Hursh Award.

    Kyle was described by folks that cover RHS football as a “force” on the offensive line, even calling him, “the immovable object,” pointing out his toughness. His teammates and friends simply know him as “a great guy,” one teammate saying, “he’s the best guy I know.”

    Riverton Junior Football League President Brett Watson echoed those statements, “he is not only the biggest recipient of the award but possesses one of the biggest hearts. All of his coaches, from the 49ers to the Wolverines, had tremendous praise for Kyle’s hard work and dedication to football and the team.”

    The John Hursh Award has been handed out for 22 years to an RHS senior.

    Watson described the award by saying, “not only has this player continued on with football, but in doing so set an example for all future Jr players to follow. Many times this has been a player that has set an example with very little limelight; a player that has worked hard in the classroom and has been a model student and community member; and, in some cases, a player that has overcome obstacles, but remained a dedicated teammate.”
