It’s not too late to place your nominations for the 2017 Varsity Maine Awards. But don’t wait too long. We’re taking entries through March 8.

The awards show, sponsored by the Maine Sunday Telegram, celebrates the best in high school sports – players, coaches, teams and even fans – from around the state. The show will be held on May 2 at the Costello Sports Complex at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham.

So who can make a nomination? Coaches. Teammates. Parents. Athletic directors. Neighbors. Grandparents. Anyone who wants to highlight the achievements of those involved in Maine high school sports.

Here is a look at some of the award categories. Do you know someone who fits any of these descriptions? Then let us know by making a nomination.

We’re looking for an athlete who excels in the classroom. Who is tops among his or her peers when it comes to academic excellence?

THE LOUDEST AND PROUDEST

Talk about school pride: We’re looking for the No. 1 fan – whether it’s a parent, family member, student or booster who cheers on his or her team at home games and on the road.
