Congratulations Kellen Jones Scholarship Recipients

Each year, the Athletic Booster Club awards two $500 grants to two senior student athletes, in memory of Kellen "Bobo" Jones '08.

This year's recipients were Ryan Bohanan, who will be attending Pacific Lutheran University; and Addy Wynkoop, who will be attending Fordham University. The recipients exhibit the characteristics and attributes that made Kellen Jones a successful athlete, teammate, and Ballard Beaver. (Ryan is pictured with, l-r, Dave and Kelly Jones, Head Football Coach Malik Prince, Former Head Football Coach Ross Humphries, Assistant Football Coach Steve Queen, Team Photographer Ed Tanaka and Softball Coach Dale Griffith. Addy is pictured with Kelly Jones and Coach Dale Griffith.)

Athletics helped Kellen build his confidence, develop leadership skills, understand the value of the team (family), learn from the experience of others and to build honor.
