On Wednesday, November 13, the Fall Athletics Awards Assembly was held at Kellenberg Memorial High School to honor the freshman and JV athletes of the 2019 fall season. Awards were given for most committed, most improved, and most valuable athletes on each team.
Girls JV Volleyball; Alex Eakin, Most Valuable Player
The Most Valuable Player goes to a player who truly elevated herself in every game to be the best she can be. There was comfortability among the coaching staff that this player would be able to get her job done, no matter the job. She led the team in digs and was unflappable in even the most pressurized situations. She has ball control, court awareness and a very high volleyball IQ, all things that cannot be taught. Alex Eakin is our 2019 Junior Varsity volleyball Most Valuable Player. Congratulations Alex!

JV B Football; Frankie Leckler, Bernie Ward Commitment Award
Since the first week of tryouts to the last week of practice, Frankie demonstrated what it means to be committed to bettering himself and his teammates. Frankie never once let his teammates down and was always the first person to take on any responsibility asked of him. Frankie played on offense, defense and was on special teams. At practice, Frankie never once asked out of a drill, sprint or any type of football workout. He always listened to his coaches looking to improve his skills each day. Frankie clearly embodies what it means to be a Kellenberg Football player and what a committed player means to a team.
