[Nfbk] {Disarmed} Fwd: Peen Station Student Athlete of the Month

[slery]

At least this was way better than the commercial I heard today. The first short commercial just announced his name and that he was a KSB student. Unfortunately, the second longer commercial stated that even though he was a student at KSB he still had enough vision to compete in sports. So disappointed and how degrading for the student.

Athlete of the Month: Kentucky School for the Blind's Trevor Gravil

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —The Penn Station East Coast Subs Athlete of the Month for April is Kentucky School for the Blind senior Trevor Gravil.

 

Gravil is a skilled player of goal ball, where players are blindfolded and on their knees on a basketball floor with goal mouths the width of both ends.

Players must use their listening skills to try to stop a shot.

Trevor is legally blind, but has never allowed his visual impairment to stop him.

“I don't let it get in the way. I just keep going like everybody else does,” Trevor said.

Trevor competes in track, goal ball and wrestling while maintaining a 3.5 grade-point average.

He is headed to Morehead State University this fall to major in mathematics. He plans to become a high school math teacher.

In May, WLKY and Penn Station East Coast Subs will award a $5,000 college scholarship to one of this year’s winners.
