WACO - The Cuero High School football program was named as a runner up to the Grant Teaff Beyond the Game Team Award on January 28, receiving a $1,000 grant for service to their community. This award is presented to one Texas High School team who exemplifies outstanding service to their community that goes beyond the game. The Freeman High School softball team in Katy was selected as the recipient of the 2025 Grant Teaff Beyond the Game Team Award.
“High School coaches have an incredible platform to impact the lives of their athletes by instilling a culture of servant leadership,” College Football Hall of Fame coach Grant Teaf said. “I congratulate Coach Jill Voss and her softball team for the incredible acts of service in their community.”
Coach Voss uses her position as a coach and the game of softball as a platform to show athletes how to go beyond their God-given abilities and demonstrate their efforts off the ballfield by serving others. In order to receive their uniform, players must complete 30 hours of community service.
