Kellenberg Memorial Students From Wantagh-Seaford Win Winter Athlete Individual Awards

On March 12, 2015, Kellenberg Memorial High School held a banquet to honor its winter athletes. Individual awards are given out to some of the more outstanding athletes. Congratulations to all the Kellenberg Memorial athletes from the Wantagh, Seaford area.

Christina Candemeres - Varsity Basketball (Wantagh)

Head coach Matthew Kirk had this to say about Christina. This year’s Bernie Ward Commitment Award recipient goes to someone who has been a constant within the Girls Program for the last four years. Her skill, passion for the game and personality was a perfect complement to this year’s team all season. It was always a pleasure to watch her play the game she loves and for that reason was a delight to coach that past four seasons. She will be truly missed next year and know that any program will be lucky to have you playing basketball for them next year. This year’s Bernie Ward Commitment award goes to senior, Christina Candemeres.

Alyssa Boll - JV Basketball (Seaford)

Head coach Kelly Murphy had this to say about Alyssa. Commitment can be something that doesn’t always come easy in a season with many ups and downs. But regardless of the highs and lows, the high commitment level of this player was shown day in and day out. She was always willing to stay after practice to work on the little things, even if it was just for 5 minutes. This young lady was up for playing whatever position the team needed her at. This year’s most committed player was one that not only the team but also the coaches saw a leader in from day one and she proved to be nothing less. The most committed award goes to captain, Alyssa Boll.

T.J. Catapano - JV Wrestling (Seaford)

Head coach Chris Alfala wrote this of T. J. Having never wrestled before the start of the season TJ Catapano could have easily gotten frustrated and quit the sport of wrestling, but that’s not TJ! TJ struggled at first as many wrestlers do in the beginning of their careers. This was hard for the incredibly competitive young man because he hasn’t had much experience with failure. TJ worked his hardest and the losses would eventually turn to wins. TJ Catapano is this year’s Most Improved Wrestler.
