CoSida Academic All-District Honors Eight Football Players
2015 CoSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT TEAMS
The Empire 8 football teams landed eight student-athletes on the CoSIDA Academic All-District™ team for outstanding academic achievements.
Each of these student-athletes earned recognition for their combined performances in the classroom and on the football field.
These honorees maintained at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average while serving as a starter or impact contributor off the bench, and had to participate in at least half of their team's games.
