 The end of the school year is a time of reflection of accomplishments and successes for each of our cadets whether it be their academic grades or extracurricular activities which includes not only the JROTC program and others but a subject that is near and dear to our hearts – athletics.

We encourage each cadet to get involved in an athletic program from the beginning of their Army Navy experience. The bonds that are made with their ‘team’ can follow them all through their life which can be attested to by several of our returning Alums. Countless stories are told and re-told during Alumni Weekend of how the Academy has shaped their lives and the majority of those experiences involve either the teams they played on or the coach that helped mold them into the person they are today.

A further testament to this is located in the foyer of Davis Hall where trophies and plaques greet each who enters. Some are difficult to read but that does not take away anything from the rich history of our beloved Academy.

Some of our Awards are given with certificates, trophies, plaques but it is the Perpetual Trophies that will be viewed by those visiting the campus. Our newest inductees are:

  • Most Valuable Player for Baseball – Kevin Gottschalk
  • Most Valuable Player for Basketball – Rafael Rodriguez
  • The Buz Brewster Most Valuable Player for JV Basketball – Lamar Greenwood
