Kellenberg Memorial High School Awards its JV and Freshmen Fall Athletes

The Bernie Ward Commitment Award which 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.

Boy’s JV A Soccert: Matthew Kenny of Rockville Centre exemplifies what the Bernie Ward Commitment award stands for. Throughout the season, Matt was in and out of the lineup, while we tried to figure who would fit best where in our formation. As the season wore on, we started to see that when Matt was in the lineup, our defense was significantly better. His poise under stressful situations throughout the game was undeniable. Anything that needed to be done, from carrying the equipment to and from practice or shutting down an opposing forward, Matt was the guy that rose to the occasion. Matt has a bright future as he moves up to the varsity level next year.

The Most Valuable Player Award is for the athlete whose contribution to the team contributed most towards that team’s success during the season.
