Offensive POY — Louie Turner, EA
Escambia Academy’s Louie Turner is The Atmore Advance’s 2017 Offensive Player of the Year.

Turner rushed for 999 yards on 119 carries and scored 20 touchdowns. He averaged 8.39 yards per carry.

On the award, he said he thanks God for blessing him with the opportunity to play the game of football.

“It’s an honor to be named offensive player of the year throughout all of the talented athletes around our area,” Turner said. “I just want to thank all of my supportive family that are always at the games screaming and cheering us, and also to our loyal great fans.”

Turner said his running backs coach Marty Long pushed him extra hard on and off the field.

“He’s helped me improve my game, and I appreciate him for that,” he said.

Coach of the Year — Hugh Fountain, EA
Escambia Academy head football coach Hugh Fountain is The Atmore Advance’s 2017 Coach of the Year.

“It was a great year for Escambia Academy football,” Fountain said. “When an AISA school defeats three schools that play in the public school associations (Northview, Jay and Resurrection Catholic), that’s something to be proud of.

“When we defeated First Baptist, who won the Independent Championship in South Carolina; when we defeated and broke Autauga Academy’s 25-game streak and Coach Bobby Carr’s nation-leading 87-win streak, it says a lot about our players and staff.”

Fountain added that all of the credit goes to the entire team and family, including parents, supporters and fans.
