Cameron Cyr, a senior at William Amos Hough High School, was awarded the Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick Award. The award is presented by Dr Pepper and given annually by the Charlotte Sports Foundation to a senior football player from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools who displays talent both on the field and a passion for their community.

The award is named after Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick of Myers Park High School and comes with a $10,000 scholarship, trophy and recognition at the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

Cyr was also recognized in December by the Charlotte Observer as player of the year.
