Every week of the school year, KAKE Sports recognizes an outstanding athlete. We look for not only great achievements in their sport of choice, but also "off the field."

You can help by nominating an outstanding Student Athlete of the Week--just use the nomination icon in the center column of this page and tell us about them, and then watch KAKEland News at 6pm on Wednesdays for the Student Athlete of the Week, brought to you by Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine at Cypress LLC, and VYPE High School Sports Magazine.
