Vicksburg High School football player Michael Montgomery was awarded the Golden Helmet Award for his outstanding performance on the Gators football team for the 2020 season.

Montgomery was presented the award at the school’s athletic banquet that was hosted on Tuesday. The Golden Helmet is given to the team’s overall MVP.

Montgomery was an All-State defensive lineman this season under head coach Todd McDaniel. He ended the year with 40 tackles and three sacks as he shined on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
