Hoover High School
Lincoln Anderson and Julie Cooke were recently named the 2025-2026 Hoover High School Bryant–Jordan Award nominees. The Bryant–Jordan Award recognizes outstanding Alabama high school student-athletes who excel academically, demonstrate leadership, and overcome challenges while pursuing excellence. Sponsored by the Bryant–Jordan Scholarship Program, the award was established in honor of legendary coaches Paul “Bear” Bryant and Ralph “Shug” Jordan, and it celebrates students who embody perseverance, integrity, and dedication. Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, athletic participation, leadership and character, and overcoming adversity. Lincoln and Julie represent the very best of Hoover High School, and being nominated gives them the opportunity to advance to the state level, where they may potentially earn scholarship opportunities through the Bryant–Jordan Scholarship Program.
