Southlake Kiwanis has officially awarded the 2022 Charlie Stalcup Heart Of A Dragon Award to senior Travis Keener. Keener, who played defense on the football team and was a two-time captain, earned the honor along with a $1,500 scholarship.
The annual award honors former Dragon Football coach Charlie Stalcup, who passed away from cancer in 2004, and is given to a football player who represents the values coach Stalcup stood for.
During the 2021 football season, Keener — who is headed to the University of Utah to study business entrepreneurship — recorded 45 tackles, three sacks, knocked down two passes and caused a fumble. The senior was also named to the 4-6A First Team All-District on defense.
