The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) announced Nov. 17 that Mound Westonka High School senior football player Will Wallace had won the Most Valuable Teammate (MVT) Award. MSHSL and Wells Fargo sponsor the weekly awards program to recognize students who exemplify the qualities of a great teammate.

Wallace's nominator wrote:

"A three-year starter and team captain, Will is a leader and role model. He is always positive and constantly picks up his teammates. His upbeat personality is contagious, and he makes his team better every day. Will is a great football player but an even better young man and leader."

Wallace will receive an MVT certificate and will also be recognized in a special scoreboard feature during the MSHSL state tournaments.
