High School Student Athlete of the Month
StormCenter 17's second annual area wide High School Student Athlete of the Month is now accepting nominations for the 2010-11 school year.
Each monthly winner will be from a sport that is being played at the time of the student's nomination. In the fall: football, soccer, golf, cross-country; in the fall/winter months: basketball, wrestling; and the spring months soccer, baseball, softball, and track.
The monthly winner will receive a plaque and have a story done about them that will run in the 6pm news on StormCenter 17 the last Thursday of each month. The Athletic Department at the student's school will receive a $1,000 check from Cohn Furniture, the promotion's main sponsor.
This year there is a huge addition to the promotion. Land of Lincoln Credit Union will be giving one of the nine monthly Athletes of the Month up to a $20,000 scholarship. This will be awarded in June 2011. The monthly winning athletes will be judged by an extended committee and one will be awarded this scholarship.
Nominees are selected on their athletic ability, sports awards and accomplishments, extra-curricular activities, academic awards and accomplishments as well as their grade point average.
Nominations are due: Sept. 12, Oct. 10, Nov. 7, Dec., 12, 2010, Jan. 9, Feb. 6, March 13, April 10 and May 8, 2011.
