The Dr. Frank L. Boyden Award is given in honor of the longtime Deerfield Academy headmaster.\u00a0 The award is given in recognition of outstanding achievement both on the football field and in the classroom by a prep school football player.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Dr. Frank L. Boyden recipient is a senior at Williston Northampton School.\u00a0 A native of Amherst, Massachusetts, he has enjoyed a terrific career both on the field and in the classroom.<\/p>\n

As a football player, he captained this year\u2019s Williston squad as a two-way end.\u00a0 Offensively, he was an outstanding blocker at the point of attack, helping the Wildcats average nearly 7 yards per carry this past season.\u00a0 Defensively, he started at strong side defensive end where he was a team leader in tackles and a league leader in sacks.\u00a0 In recognition of his excellent play, he was named to the All Colonial League team for the second straight season.\u00a0 Speaking as his coach, he is everything you would want in a football player \u2013 intelligent, tough as nails, unselfish, and extremely dependable.<\/p>\n

Beyond his playing exploits on the gridiron, he has also been a standout at Williston both as a student and as a citizen.\u00a0 Taking a very challenging academic course load he has consistently earned High Honors with over a 92 average.\u00a0 In the last three years, he has had only two final grades below 90!\u00a0 This fall his course load included five AP and Honors classes.\u00a0 True to form he received straight As!\u00a0 In addition to his accomplishments above, he has made his mark in many, many other ways at Williston serving in numerous leadership roles throughout his years.<\/p>\n

Next fall, he will be attending Colby College in Maine where he hopes to continue his success both on and off the football field\u00a0 It is with great pleasure that I award the 2013 Dr. Frank L. Boyden Award to John Woodside.<\/p>\n
