Travy Awards: Vote for Top Plays of Maine’s 2025 Fall Sports Season
As Maine’s fall sports season wraps up, it’s time to celebrate some thrilling moments from the gridiron, the pitch, and beyond. The Travy Awards offer us a chance to recognize the standout plays that made the 2025 season unforgettable. With plenty of incredible highlights, we’re rolling out the red carpet for the athletes who showed up and showed out. So, let’s dive into some of the most jaw-dropping plays and who to keep an eye on as voting approaches!
Spotlight on the Quarterbacks
This year’s Travy nominations feature some phenomenal quarterback plays that left fans cheering in the stands. For instance, we have Hollis Schwalm from the state champions, Camden Hills, making waves. In an impressive highlight, Hollis found himself with no receivers open—so what did he do? He took off on a breathtaking 120-yard run down the field, zigzagging past defenders like they were cones in a practice drill. This play not only secured a touchdown but also showcased his athleticism and determination, proving that sometimes the best play is to take matters into your own hands.
The Creativity of the Philly Special
Not to be outdone, Kennebunk’s Sam Matthews brought some creativity to the field with a well-executed version of the “Philly Special.” In this innovative play, Sam not only tossed a pass but made a perfect catch himself! It’s a testament to teamwork and planning as they tricked the defense and found a rhythm that resulted in a touchdown. Senior Brayden Elliot’s skill didn’t go unnoticed as he made a sensational catch of a deflected pass. It was a collaborative effort that wowed the spectators and left the opposing team in disbelief.
Highlight-Reel Plays
Every fall sports season has its standout moments that viewers won’t soon forget, and this year is no exception. Dmitri Lubin from Westbrook has earned his place in the Travy nominations with a spectacular one-handed catch, often referred to as a “Wow” moment in the game. This grab not only resulted in points for his team but also electrified the crowd, generating excitement for the rest of the season. Athletes like Dmitri remind us of the thrill of high school sports, where sheer talent and a little magic can turn a game on its head.
