Kellenberg Memorial High School Celebrates the Fall Sports Season

Congratulations to the Kellenberg Memorial High School athletes who were recognized for their impressive achievements during the fall sports season.

Freshman Cheerleading: Most Valuable Player

Nicole Mathison of Wantagh truly represents what it means to be a Kellenberg cheerleader. Throughout the season the coaches could always count on her to have a positive attitude and an open mind to anything put her way. As one of the strongest bases on the team she never once complained that something was too difficult or scary for her. She has excelled in her jumps and tumbling throughout the season and never settled for anything less than perfect. She demonstrates exceptional leadership values and truly has a bright future within the cheerleading program.

Girl's Freshman Cross Country: Bernie Ward Commitment Award

A quiet young woman, who keeps on plugging, never drawing attention towards herself, this young lady also enjoyed improvement in leaps and bounds. Famed University of Oregon coach Bill Dellinger once said, “Good things come slowly-especially in distance running.” This young lady must have known this, as her patient persistence built her to a competitive runner. She was our consistent #3 performer, and we are honored to award Sarah Killian of Wantagh the freshman cross country Bernie Ward Commitment Award.

Girl's JV Volleyball: Most Improved Player

Most Improved goes to Mackenzie Good of Seaford. Mackenzie came in as a back row player without much playing time. As the season went on, Mackenzie found herself more and more court action as she dedicated herself to rep after rep. Although, not a captain in a formal role, Good emerged as a leader, asking for extra help and rallying the team at some critical moments. Mackenzie found herself a starting position, earned through her tremendous work ethic. Mackenzie helped forge a solid serve receive pattern and became a staple for our defense. The coaches are incredibly proud!

Girl's JV Volleyball: MVP

The MVP award goes to a young woman who is the picture of calm in the storm. This athlete is truly a “go-to” type of player. When the team is under pressure and we need to score, this young lady is the one the whole team trusts to have the ball. She is steady, and talented. She is strong and reliable. She is a force at the net and can also provide us passing and defense. She is knowledgeable about the sport and that gives her a tremendous edge. It is without question we are a better team and program with her on the court. In addition to her talent, she is a consummate leader. It is with great enthusiasm we award the MVP to sophomore, Colleen Moulder of Wantagh.
