Congratulations to the Yonkers Brave Quarterback D.J. Holmes for winning the Yonkers Rising Player of the Year Award for the Fall 2021 football season. Coach Victor Chiappa said “I love this kid. DJ was one of the best players that I have ever been associated with during my football coaching career!” Coach Ciappa added,
“D.J. was as tough as nails! He had a double ear infection and still came out for practice. Never missed!” D.J. who is a Senior at Lincoln High School has been awarded a Rugby scholarship to Nazareth College this Fall.
D.J. congrats on your award and good luck in the future from everyone at the Yonkers Rising!
