Kaleb Mako of Ketcham High School secured the Poughkeepsie Journal boys athlete of the week for October 26 to November 1 with 54% of the vote. The recognition came after a week of strong performances across high school sports, where Mako emerged as the clear favourite among voters.
The Poughkeepsie Journal opened voting for the boys athlete of the week to the public, with several athletes nominated from various sports. Through the voting period, which closed recently, Mako's performance on the football field attracted the most support, earning him just over half of the total votes cast.
Details on Mako’s specific achievements during the week have not been released by the newspaper, but his contribution to Ketcham football evidently impressed enough to outpace other nominees. The Journal regularly features standout high school athletes in the region, giving fans and community members a chance to celebrate local talent.
Mako’s win adds to the ongoing coverage of high school sports by the Poughkeepsie Journal, which also recently spotlighted volleyball and soccer teams advancing in their respective competitions. The paper’s sports section remains a focal point for tracking athletes making an impact in the area.
Voting for the Poughkeepsie Journal’s girls athlete of the week is currently underway, continuing the paper’s weekly tradition. The boys athlete of the week award, which Mako claimed, reflects performance and community support during a specific week of competition.
The Journal’s online platform invites readers to participate in these polls regularly, highlighting the connection between local sports coverage and community engagement. Mako’s 54% share of the vote indicates a strong base of support relative to his competitors.
No further comment has been provided by Ketcham High School or the athlete himself regarding the award. The Poughkeepsie Journal will continue to track standout athletes as the high school sports season progresses.
