The Flagcoco Spirit Awards were started at the end of the 2015-2016 school year to celebrate the athletes who participate in the best high school rivalry in Arizona.  Each year, a senior boy and a girl from each school is honored for their athletic achievements and sportsmanship throughout their high school careers.

While members of the Flagstaff media and the school athletic directors are consulted, Flagcoco has the ultimate call.  Criteria for choosing honorees include:

*Must be a senior at Flagstaff or Coconino High School.

*Achievement in multiple sports is preferred, but award can be given to a single-sport athlete if he/she was decisively dominant in that sport.

*Winners of the New Cromer Awards (another set of awards presented by Flagcoco) are not eligible. They are, however, invited to the Flagcoco Awards dinner at the end of the school year.

At the end of the 2023-2024 athletic season, the Flagcoco Impact Awards were first presented, given to an athlete from each school who made a definite impact on their team, school, and community in ways not represented in statistics or headlines.
