The Donahue Academy honored standouts in its growing sports program Monday night at the school's Sports Awards Dinner.
Tommy Smith and Joan Cheffers were the first recipients of the newly-created Alex Klucik Leadership Award which recognizes academic and athletic achievement as well as leadership and dedication to Catholic values. The award is named for Matthew "Alex" Klucik who died in a car accident the summer he graduated from the Donahue Academy in 2010.

Tim Donohue, the tireless coach of girls basketball and girls volleyball, was named Coach of the Year. (left, dinner organizer Don Stuller presenting the award to Mr. Donahue)
The dinner also recognized former Donahue teacher and administrator Jon Beane (left with his wife, Mary) with a Lifetime Appreciation Award for his work both in academics as well as athletics.
Below is a list of award winners. In most sports, three awards were presented: The Shamrock Award, for the player with the most spirit; the Team Leader Award for the team's best leader; and the Most Valuable Player award.
