Keener selected for 2018 Georgia Positive Athlete

Stephens County High School tennis player Carson Keener has been selected for the 2018 Georgia Positive Athlete tennis award in the Northeast Georgia region.

Keener, a junior, plays number 3 singles for the Indians team and had an 11-5 record this past season.

He was nominated by his Coach Donny Williams for his positive influence and encouragement of teammates, leadership and effort in practice and in match-play.

Keener is the 3rd award winner from the SCHS tennis program.

Sarah Whitworth won in 2016 and Ben Smith won in 2017.

Since its inception, Positive Athlete, an organization started by Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward, has awarded over $100,000 in college scholarships to high school student-athletes based more on their character than their athletic performance.
