Kellenberg Memorial Athletes Win Awards at Spring Athletic Banquet

Thomas Paulich (JV Baseball, MVP)

Head Coach Matthew Kirk wrote this of Thomas Paulich, winner of the JV Baseball MVP Award. This year’s Most Valuable Player goes to one of the most respected players in our league. Aside from leading the team in many offensive categories, including home runs, runs batted in and runs scored, this individual was also one of the top infielders in the league as well. It is no easy adjustment to change positions mid-year from third base to shortstop however due to an injury, this individual did it with relative ease. This young man improved every facet of his game throughout the year and is the reason he is considered to be the most valuable. There is no doubt that he will continue to improve and the coaching staff looks forward to seeing what he can do at the next level. This year’s Most Valuable Player goes to Thomas Paulich.

Ashley Harding (Varsity Golf, Most Improved Player)

Head Coach Keith Doran wrote this of Ashley Harding. As a freshman, Ashley Harding had many adjustments this year. Being in a new school, using an iPad, and making new friends were all part of her program. However, on the golf team, the only change she had to make was playing competitive golf with a partner instead by herself. She started out this season in the #4 position and continually beat her opponents so thoroughly that she was moved into the #3 position where she continued her victorious ways. She is always looking to improve her game whenever she gets the chance, and the coaching staff and the other players know she will only continue to get better with age and opportunity. Congratulations to the 2014-15 Girls’ Golf team MIP: Ashley Harding
