Adam Bergen Award

(selected by Senior coaching staff)

The Adam Bergen Award is named after the first Bronco Alumni to make it to the NFL.  Adam grew up in Seaford, played Bronco football, moved up to play Seaford Viking football as a quarterback, and then went on to Lehigh University where he played tight end.  After a stellar career at Lehigh, Adam signed a free agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals and played several seasons in the NFL with the Cardinals.  Unfortunately, a knee injury shortened his time with Cardinals.  Adam also spent time in the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens training camps, as well as playing in the UFL. This award is given to a Bronco player with a minimum of 4 years in the organization who has displayed exceptional contributions on the football field. 

Steve Frese Award

The award is named in honor of Steve Frese, a Bronco alumni and Seaford resident who died in Vietnam.  There is a monument in Seaman’s Neck Park by the concession stand honoring his achievements in Seaford Little League as well.  This award is presented to a player who has shown sportsmanship, is a coachable player, and has demonstrated great community citizenship.
