Athletics Director’s Award— Jeremiah Johnson
The Athletics Director’s Award is an award given to a student who is supportive of and has excelled in BSM Athletics. Although this award is entitled Athletics Director’s Award the honoree is selected by a group representing the Activities department, college counseling and others.
The last of five siblings, Jeremiah Johnson has been a BSM “gym rat” since he was little. From driving everyone crazy as a little guy to now helping with every possible task Jeremiah has had quite the journey.
A staff member says that Jeremiah, “connects with all students and coaches. He possesses maturity beyond his years and is a great kid to be around. He is a trustworthy go getter who has served as a student photographer, game worker and a volunteer helper”
He announces, keeps stats, runs the concession stand, and is a master with the popcorn machine at open houses and other events.
Congratulations Jeremiah for being honored as this year’s BSM Athletics Director Award winner.
Activities Director’s Award – Luke Sauer
