The Wetherington Chiropractic Clinic Athlete of the Week- Benedictine Football Player junior John Wesley Kennedy 11.16.15

Last week's Wetherington Chiropractic Clinic Athlete of the Week was Benedictine Military School football player junior John Wesley Kennedy. John likes to go by Wes. Kennedy was nominated for his performance against Long County High School on November 6th as he ran for 144 yards on 9 carries and two touchdowns. On the night, Wes accounted for over 200 yards for the Cadets as they clinched the region title and a number-one seed in the state playoff.


Kennedy finished the regular season scoring 25 touchdowns; 15 were on runs, 7 on passes, and 3 on special teams. Up to this point Wes has rushed for 958 yards on 108 caries, an average of 8.9 a carry, 707 yards on 27 receptions for an average of 24 yards per catch, and 376 yards returned on 4 punts and 8 kickoff returns for an average of 32 yards per return. Kennedy has a total of 2041 yards all-purpose yards for the Cadets this season. After Wes appeared on the show, he was named the Coaches 2-AA Region Football Player of the Year. The amazing thing is Wes can do this from any postion on the gridiron and we get to watch him do this all over again next season. Congrats to John Wesley Kennedy on a truly outstanding season.

Carver has been a three-year starter on the volleyball team. Coach Hannah Hunter said, "Hannah is a leader. The plays have to go through the setter, Hannah, and she is exceptional at setting her teammates up for kills. She also is positive, and her teammates thrive off of her. She loves and knows the game. She is a big part of our success."


Carver was named to the 1st team All-Area teams as well as the Co-Area Player of the Year with her cousin junior Landon Jones of Savannah Christian.
