Graduating senior Wildcat standout and Richmond University bound Darryl Hamilton has received another prestigious award.  Darry has been recognized as a National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete. Only 15 other scholar athletes were recognized at the annual spring banquet held at the Army Navy Country Club, Arlington VA in April.  The NFF seeks to honor those who have excelled both on and off the field and who demonstrate the Foundation’s creed of scholarship, citizenship and athletic ability. 

All NFF honorees are eligible for part of $1 million in scholarships to further their education.  These events honor deserving student-athletes as the best and the brightest of their generation; all the honorees names are permanently enshrined at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana.  Salute to Darryl!

Luke Bowanko, 6′6″ 270 lb Jr. Wildcat offensive tackle has verbally committed to play for the University of Virginia. Luke, a first team All Concorde District, 2nd team All Northern Region and 1st team All Gameday Magazine selection chose the Cavaliers after visits to Virginia, Boston College, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Duke.  Prior to making his decision he had the opportunity to visit  both UVA and Virginia Tech’s spring game.    After less than a week of receiving the UVA offer, he gave both Coach Poindexter and Coach Groh a call to inform them of his decision.  Luke has also received offers from Boston College and Florida State University.   

Brett Warren (2004) has always had a reputation for toughness.  A standout at CVHS he played for four weeks with an undiagnosed broken collarbone.  The son of Redskins TE Don and younger brother of Hookie football Blake (2002-2005) was born to play football.  Brett was recently recongized for his performance during spring practice by Coach Frank Beamer at the Virginia Tech 2008 Spring Game with the coveted Coaches Award.  Brett, a r-Jr., 6′1″ and 238, had the opportunity to start at linebacker at Tech during the Duke game last fall and has made a huge difference with his “physical brand of football” and leading the defense in points during his starts.  Brett’s younger brother Beau (2006), r-Fr., 6′3″ and 275 plays center for Hokies, started for both the Georgia Tech and Florida State games, and is credited with helping the team win both contests.   The Warren brothers and Hokie center Matt Welsh (2004), r-Jr. 6′4″ and 295, were all standouts at CVHS and proudly represent the Wildcat football tradition at Tech.

Come cheer on Wildcat Football Senior and SYA Basketball Coach Keoni O’Connor as he takes his team into another exciting SYA championship game.  Keoni has successfully coached young men in basketball with his friend Brendan Ripa for a few years.  His formula for coaching seems to be working.  Each year their team has made the playoffs.  The focus has been on teaching the boys the game, communicating,  practicing and playing hard, and most importantly…have fun.  This will be Keoni’s last season as an SYA Basketball Coach and he will be missed by his team members as he heads off to college this fall.  The SYA Basketball Commisioner gave kudos to the coaches and stated “Without you we would not have a league.  We will be losing a couple of coaches as they go off to college in the fall, if you see these boys please wish them luck and thank them for the years of service they have donated to SYA: Scott Laux, Brendan Ripa and Keoni O’Connor.  Great Job Guys!”  Great job Keoni!  The game is at Liberty Middle School, Friday March 7th at 6:45 p.m. 

Senior Brett Miller (171)  and Jackson Islin (130) are heading to Chesapeake, Virginia to represent the Wildcats at the State competition February 22-23 at Oscar Smith High School.  Let’s go Wildcats!
