AFL Queensland Regional Manager, Jeff Neumann said all four are deserving nominees and would also be deserving winners at the State Awards Function in August.

"We have so many wonderful AFL School Ambassadors across the region, from Toowoomba to Roma and to Kingaroy south to Goondiwindi and east to the Lockyer Valley.
