The Wall Knights Wrestling Club had started a tradition of hosting an end of the Year Awards Night in which special awards were given to deserving recipients.   The idea for a formalized awards night had come from the Howell Predators model for their annual awards night which recognized outstanding individual achievements of wrestlers in the program each year at an event the entire program was invited to.    Since the 2017-2018 Season, record has been kept of the WKWC Award Recipients from Awards Night and the recipients are listed below.   

The Awards that are Given out on awards night include:

Team Captains-Captains are awarded each season with something at awards night as a keepsake to remember that the coaches had viewed them as the leaders in the wrestling room.   The captains are usually experienced wrestlers or  in 7th or 8th grade that younger wrestlers look up to.

Rising Star-Awarded to a Wrestler who has his first year in the JSJWL and is clearly going to be a wrestler to watch in the years to come.   It is the WKWC version of Rookie of the Year

Most Improved-Awarded to a wrestler in the program who shows the most improvement from one season to the next or the most improvement over the course of the season

Most Dedicated-Awarded to the Wrestler that has shown the most dedication to the team and to bettering himself/herself over the course of the wrestling season.   Things which are considered are practice attendance, match and tournament attendance, wrestling at clubs, wrestling at middle school, etc.

Female Wrestler of the Year-The WKWC recognizes the growth of girls wrestling and has taken strides to be a pioneer in the development of the girls wrestling program.   Each year we have had a handful of girls wrestlers in the club and the number continues to grow.   In time we hope to have a series of awards for the girls as we do the boys in the program when the number of girls wrestling is big enough.   Each year we give the female wrestler of the year award to a girl wrestler who has the most success either in competing with boys or against other girls. Award was started in the 2020-2021 Season.


Leadership Award-Awarded to a wrestler who has shown great leadership abilities and that other members of the team look up to.   It is usually awarded to a team captain that exhibits traits such as sportsmanship, tremendous work ethic, and commitment.  Award was started in 2021-2022 Season.

Hammer Award-The second highest honor in the program for a given season.   It is given to a wrestler who comes up big for the team when needed, scores bonus points when needed, or
the wrestler who seems to sway the momentum of the team towards the WKWC due to his/her efforts in team matches.    

Outstanding Wrestler Award-Awarded to the wrestler that means the most to his team over the course of the season.   This typically goes to the wrestler with the best record as well as the most notable accomplishments during the course of a season.  Other considerations include intangible factors which make the wrestler standout amongst everyone else, such as leadership abilities, commitment to the team, coming up big in clutch situations, etc.
