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 Cheerleading: The most improved Varsity cheerleader is a girl that has worked extremely hard in improving herself in all aspects of cheerleading. She has become one of the best flyers on our team and we are very confident in her stunting abilities. We have seen great improvement in her jumps as well as her tumbling. We are very happy to have this opportunity to recognize how far she has come as a cheerleader and how enjoyable she is to coach. This season’s most improved award goes to Gabby Quinones.

Varsity Football: As a junior, this young man played a minimal role on our defense during the season. Through his hard work in the offseason that included the weight room, 7 on 7 competitions, conditioning workout and film study, he transformed himself into a talented and skilled defensive back. He started every game and played on most of our special teams. The coaching staff was so impressed by his improvement that he was a unanimous choice for this award. The Most Improved Player is Zac Estrella.
