Bryce Bristow, from Laurel, was presented with the 2009/2010 Casey Lynch Award during
the annual Henlopen Conference Banquet at The Fountains, in Salisbury, on January 31st.
The Henlopen Pop Warner Football League awards the Casey Lynch Award to a Midget
Football player. Casey was a 13-year-old quarterback of the 1991 Delmar Midget
"Wildcats" who died on the Delmar football field while playing the Woodbridge
"Blue Raiders" with 17 seconds left in a 6-6 tie game. Only one Midget player is
chosen to receive this award each year in Casey's memory. Every football player in
the Henlopen Pop Warner Football League is eligible for this award. Criteria
for this award include outstanding leadership on the field, in the classroom
and in the community, along with above average grades in all subjects and his
respect for his parents, coaches, teachers, classmates and fellow teammates.

WHY THERE ARE NO PERSONAL STATISTICS IN POP WARNER
Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, dance and a respect for education to develop
strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men and women. We give them experiences that build
their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
While individual statistics may be more common, particularly among older football players,
Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual.
We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or yards rushing per game. We don't count
sacks or blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance
of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to
risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad,
they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.
