ABOUT

His remarkable array of accomplishments positions him among the elite few in Girard's pantheon of all-around athletes. His exceptional achievements across three sports during his time at GHS make his inclusion in this prestigious group an evident choice. In his lone year of track participation, he emerged as a force to be reckoned with, clinching the titles of 100 and 200-meter champion at the conference, sectional, and district levels. His remarkable journey was further punctuated by securing victories in two events at the Trumbull County meet, contributing to Girard's resounding 1st place finish, where he was unanimously named MVP. His individual accolades culminated in a moment of brilliance, as he seized the State Championship in the 100-meter dash (10.78) within Division II. In the same season, he also clinched a runner-up spot in the 200-meter dash (22.06) at the state meet, adding to Girard's impressive 5th place finish. Leaving behind a legacy at Girard, Keevon held records in the 100 meters (10.6), 200-meter dash (21.5), and the 4x100 relay (42.8). His senior year witnessed his emergence as a standout, earning a 2nd team All-Ohio distinction as a receiver within Division IV football. His impact extended to the gridiron, where he once held single-season school records in receptions (60), receiving yards (1,189), and touchdown receptions (9). Basketball, too, bore witness to his prowess, as his senior season brought forth a slew of significant honors. He secured a 1st Team All-Metro Athletic Conference selection and an IS Team All-Trumbull County recognition. Among a select group of 1,000 point scorers, he reached a notable milestone with a career total of 1,071 points. Notably, he stood as Girard's nominee for the coveted Trumbull County Player of the Year Award.
