Softball: Kendra Kassonie
Kendra Kassonie started playing softball when she was nine years old, after watching her dad play in league for a few years. She has succeeded on the field but also in the classroom and is currently second in her class- just behind another Wendy’s High School Heisman recipient and classmate, Collin O’Kane.
One of her hobbies is music and she has played the violin for nine years.
One major achievement during her time playing softball for Wake Christian Academy was winning a State Championship last year.
Soccer: Collin O’Kane
Wake Christian Academy senior Collin O’Kane has played soccer and basketball for four years but hasn’t found success only in athletics during his high school career. Collin is first in his class at Wake Christian heading down the home of the school year. His favorite subject is math and he is currently taking statistics at Wake Technical Community College because he has taken all other math courses offered at Wake Christian.
Collin will attend NC State in the fall where he hopes to major in mechanical or civil engineering.
