Kellenberg Memorial High School Honors Its Varsity Fall Athletes

On November 30, the fall varsity 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. Here is what the coaches had to say about the team members from your hometown.

Varsity Football: The commitment of a player on your team can be seen in various ways. One way is to see how much offseason work for your sport that player puts in. The other way is to see how much personnel sacrifice he will make for the good of the team. This young man did both of those things to the extreme. He came into camp in the best shape of his life. He led by example through the tough conditioning and drill sessions. He played multiple positions for us as the need arose. One week we needed an offensive lineman, the next week we needed a blocking “H” back, another week we needed a flanker, all the while he was a standout middle linebacker. This player was the most committed player I have seen in a long time. The winner of the Bernie Ward Commitment Award is Dan Wilson.
