Ella Decamp - Bernie Ward Commitment Award - JV B Cheerleading
Not many coaches have the pleasure of coaching someone for three years but an athlete like Ella is a coach’s dream. Ella has proven to be a reliable teammate and athlete on all levels. Her ability to engage the crowd and lead with enthusiasm as well as encourage her teammates is what true commitment is about. Faced with adversity this season Ella proved to her coaches how much competing for her team meant to her and showed up to help perform a perfect routine. We are very proud of Ella and her commitment to the KMHS Cheer program!

Matthew Ingram - Most Valuable Player - Boys Freshman Basketball

Matthew was the most consistent player throughout the season. Matthew rarely came out of games because, without his calm facilitation of the team playbook, the team would suffer on the court. Matthew always stayed focus and gave his best in every game.

Brendan Martin - Most Valuable Player - JV Wrestling

Brendan Martin started the entire season at the 99-pound weight class. Brendan accumulated 17 wins and placed 5th at the NSCHSAA Tournament and 6th at the CHSAA State Tournament.
