The Allstate Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame held its 2014 Awards Luncheon on Wednesday afternoon in the Napoleon Room of the Hilton Riverside. Thirty-two local high school football players were recognized for their achievements in the classroom and on the football field. The honorees were chosen from a nominated group of talented scholar athletes from the New Orleans area. Archie Manning, the national chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, recognized each of the 32 student athletes at the event. From that group of 32, four were selected to receive Allstate Sugar Bowl Scholarships for $10,000 each. The scholarship winners were chosen based on essays submitted after being notified of their selection as scholar-athletes.
