Hy-Vee Scholar Athlete of the week
Vernon (VJ) Vaughn recently received the Hy-Vee Scholar Athlete of the week award. This award recognizes VJ’s outstanding work both on the field and in the classroom.
VJ has been a star Wide Receiver at Sumner Academy. He had 58 catches for 865 yards and 17 touchdowns as a junior. In addition to being an all-league pick in football, VJ was a member of two state basketball championship teams. In fact, it was his basketball skills, and his ability to catch a ball above the rim that first caught the eye of KState football recruiters. An injury his senior year kept him off the field and off the court, but not out of the training and weight rooms.
VJ signed this spring to play football at Kansas State University. He leaves right after graduation to start training with the Wildcat football team. He will be grey shirted for the fall as he continues to recover from his injury last fall, but will join the team workouts again in the spring.
VJ also excels in the classroom; his favorite class is math. He studies IBH Calculus and loves it. He plans to take his math skills to KState to pursue a degree in Engineering. His other passion is music – he has inherited his father’s beautiful voice and sings with the Sumner choir, recently earning a 1 at State. Meeting the First Lady
Brittney Wright was granted the opportunity to meet the first lady because she was the runner-up for the Youth of The Year for the Greater Kansas City area for The Boys and Girls Club. Brittney is the Youth of The Year representative for the only Boys and Girls Club in the Kansas City, Kansas area. Brittney and the others in the picture were notified as V.I.P. and were selected to take pictures with Mrs. Obama as well as making her an honorary member of The Boys and Girls Clubs of America for life. "She was at the American Jazz Museum on March 5, 2012. It was an AMAZING opportunity and Mrs. Obama is a VERY genuine, respectful, humble, beautiful lady! I was mesmerized by her aura." |
