Each year, the Orange County Youth Sports Foundation chooses to honor a Sportsman of the Year. It began with race car driver Dan Gurney in 1971 and our most recent honoree is Rick Neuheisel. The pictures on this page highlights just some of the distinguished athletes, coaches and broadcasters who have been honored. For a complete list, please click on the sports banquet tab.
