Sports banquet names top Clarendon Athletes 

By Sandy Anderberg, The Clarendon Enterprise

“United We Stand” was the theme for the 2001-2002 All Sports Banquet that was held May 18 at the Clarendon College Bairfield Activity Center.  Many awards were given for the year’s accomplishments.

In another year of adversity, the Broncos and Lady Broncos have learned to endure.  They have had to learn how to reach deep within themselves to draw on their inner strengths to emerge as winners.  Not necessarily always winners on the scoreboard or in the record books but always winners in their hearts.  Sometimes the Broncos’ and Lady Broncos’ successes aren’t “pretty,” but they’re successes nonetheless.

They were recognized for their many accomplishments as a team and individually at the All Sports Banquet given in their honor.

The Lady Broncos’ Fighting Heart Award went to senior Kelley Lemley and junior Lacey Anderberg. 

Senior Janey Aduddell and junior Kylen Karr shared the Lady Bronco basketball Offensive Player of the Year honor.  Junior May Butler was the Defensive Player of the Year.

The Lady Bronco Track Athlete of the Year was freshman Angel Williams and the Outstanding Athlete of the Year was senior April Bryley.

On the men’s side, seniors Jeremy Ray and Brian Thompson were named as the Offensive and Defensive Football Players of the Year, respectively.  The Offensive Basketball Player of the Year was Cody Watson and the Defensive Player of the Year was Jarad Lax.

Junior James Williams received the Track Athlete of the Year and the Clyde Wilson Fighting Heart award winner was senior Micah Sparks.

The Outstanding Bronco Athlete of the Year was Greg Wootten.

Congratulations to all Broncos and Lady Broncos on a great year. Next year will be even greater.
