The Tri-County Youth Football League (TCYFL) recognized the 2025 recipients of its annual scholarship awards during a special event held on May 20.

The TCYFL, which includes 16 organizations spanning Carbon, Luzerne, Northumberland, and Schuylkill counties, awarded $100 scholarships to one senior football player from each of its member teams. To qualify, recipients must have participated in the league for a minimum of three years and completed four years of high school football. Honorees are selected for their leadership, sportsmanship, and dedication to their teams and communities.

“The TCYFL is more than just football—it’s about building character, accountability, and camaraderie,” said a league representative. “These young men exemplify what our league stands for both on and off the field.”

Student-athletes from nine of the 16 teams were present for a group photo, proudly representing their respective communities:
