Heist-man Award - Football

   NLMFA players who receive this award will reflect the same dedication that Coach Brian Heist has shown throughout the years.  Award winners will represent loyalty, responsibility, respect, passion, and time for their team and teammates, both on and off the field. This award is not about the best player on the field, but about the player who goes above and beyond him or herself to better their team and the overall organization. Over the last two decades, Coach Brian Heist has put the players and the organization as his topmost priority, so that our youth football program remains one of the best.  

Awesome Lawson Award - Cheerleading

   The "Awesome Lawson" Award originated in 2014 and is given each year in recognition of a cheerleader who exemplifies the leadership, determination and talent of former Northern Lebanon graduate Kimberly (Lawson) Braasch.

   Kim Lawson Braasch graduated from Northern Lebanon in 1990 and continued her education at Penn State main campus where she cheered all four years.  Upon graduation, her and her husband, Scott “Crasher” Braasch, decided to dedicate their lives to the sport of Cheerleading.  They opened the first ever cheerleading gym in Pennsylvania in 1998 and today own three gyms, the original one in Pennsylvania along with two other gyms in Virginia.
