Kapaun Mount Carmel senior Jaxon Powers has enjoyed a great senior year. From playing football in the fall to signing day in February, Powers has been one busy student-athlete. The linebacker put ink to paper signing his letter of intent to attend and play football for the Butler Grizzlies. Powers said he will not forget playing football with this group of guys at Kapaun Mount Carmel.

“I love my team’s camaraderie and grit. I have played with most of these kids for eight years. we have developed great friendships. Our class has always been good at football. We had great expectations going into high school and to go 2-7 last year really didn’t sit well with us,” said Powers. “Coming into this year we were all determined to turn it around. The fact that we had played together for so long also made us work until the very end. We did not want to stop playing together. It was awesome.”

Powers will leave KMC with plenty of memories for a lifetime.

“My favorite memory as a KMC athlete would probably have to be the whole senior football season. Just the fact that we turned the program around and were so successful and blowing out teams and beating great teams,” said Powers. “The thing I like most about being a student-athlete at Kapaun is the brotherhood.”
