Kegan Crowell wins “Jonathan Peck Skills for Life” award

Beaufort, SC -- Beaufort High School Football gathered on Dataw Island to celebrate a winning season. Although the entire teams worked hard for these wins, one team member, Kegan Crowell, was additionally recognized for his dedication to the team. Crowell was presented the inaugural “Jonathan Peck Skills for Life” award Wednesday at the Beaufort High School Football Banquet, held annually at Dataw Island.

Three-hundred BHS players, coaches, school administrators, families, and Dataw members gathered in the Carolina Ballroom for a banquet and dinner sponsored by Dataw Island members. The private gated community and Beaufort High School Athletics have a special connection – many members enjoy supporting our local student athletes, attend games to cheer on their home crowd, and offer their support to these students. Each spring, the members pool resources to host the BHS Football Banquet.

Dataw member and football supporter Marilyn Peck congratulated the student athletes on an excellent season and encouraging them through a poem that was one of her husband’s favorites, “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley.

Peck’s late husband, Jonathan Peck, was also an avid football supporter and in his honor, the Jonathan Peck Skills for Life Award is given every year. The Award recognizes an outstanding student athlete who exemplifies the traits that Jon Peck held dear, on and off the field: a positive attitude, ability to get along with everyone, spirituality, appearance, communication skills, and having a plan for improving themselves in academics and in life.

Kegan Crowell, the 2018 winner of the Jonathan Peck Skills for Life Award, is an exceptional young man who is very invested in his future.
Congratulations, Kegan, for winning this prestigious award!
