Lafayette High School senior quarterback Drew Cortez was honored Tuesday night, when he was named a finalist for the Frank Fontana Award. The award is given to the player of the year in the Kansas City area in Class 4 or below. The winner will be announced next Tuesday.
Cortez threw for 2,941 passing yards and 31 touchdowns during the 2014 season. He also gained 117 rushing yards with eight touchdowns.
The Frank Fontana Award has been called “the Heisman trophy for the Kansas City Area.” School officials describe Cortez as not only a great athlete, but also a “wonderful ambassador for Lafayette High School students and northside students.”
