Kellenberg Memorial HS Honors the Fall Athletics Season

Kellenberg Memorial High School

On December 2nd, the Kellenberg Memorial athletics programs gathered to honor the athletes of the fall season. Awards were given for most committed, most improved, and most valuable athletes on each team.

  • The Most Improved Player Award is awarded to the athlete who displayed the greatest amount of improvement and growth in their skills, which contributed to the success of their team.
  • The Bernie Ward Commitment Award is named after our beloved former faculty member, coach and colleague Bernie Ward is for the athlete who has displayed the most passion and commitment towards bettering themselves and their teammates during the season.
  • The Most Valuable Player Award is awarded to the athlete whose contribution to the team contributed most towards that team’s success during the season.

Nick DeTommaso (Varsity Football - Most Improved Player) played just about every offensive snap we had this season. This is significant because during out spring season and throughout the summer Nick was getting ready to help the team on the defensive side of the ball. When Nick was asked to help the team because of a void created by injury he did not just “fill in”, he stepped in and had a huge impact. Nick anchored the offensive line at Tackle one of the more difficult positions on the line and helped lead the Firebirds offense to an average of over 28 points per game.
