The Mohawk Valley High School Sports Awards is a multi-month student-athlete recognition program that culminates in a year-end award show. Honorees are selected through statistical analysis, game coverage and coach/athletic director feedback. Due to COVID-19 safety precautions for students and guest speakers, the event was converted to an on-demand broadcast show for 2021.

So far, the Mohawk Valley has honorees in tennis, field hockey, cross country, and soccer.
