The evening will feature keynote speaker UTSA coach Jeff Traylor and former Spurs All-Star Sean Elliott and Claudia Zapata-Elliott will emcee the event.
The Alamo City High School Sports Awards is the culmination of the nine-month high school sports season covered by the Express-News sports department. During that time the Express-News recognizes incredible local high school students through its Athletes of the Week awards, All-Area teams and the Dan Cook Cup – given annually to the year's top high school athletic program.
Traditionally, the Express-News editorial team had announced its Athletes of the Year throughout the sports season. This will be the first year where the Express-News awards its Athletes of the Year at our in-person celebratory event. The event honors the true spirit of sport by highlighting the exceptional athletes and teamwork that grows community.
The Express-News sports department makes their Athletes of the Week and All-Area selections based on statistics, performance and input from coaches and athletic directors. The Express-News Area all-sports award is named in honor of Dan Cook, the late sportswriter and columnist for the newspaper from 1952-2003. He also served as the sports anchor for KENS-TV from 1956-2000.
