Melanie Drey Named Wendy’s Heisman School Winner

There are some students who set the bar. They work harder, show more passion and lead by example – in the classroom, on the field, and within the community. One such student, Melanie Drey, PCA senior, has been named a 2017 Wendy’s High School Heisman school winner for her excellence in academics and athletics.

“Being apart of the sports program at PCA has been a great opportunity for me. The coaches have a huge impact in aspects of my life beyond sports. They not only coach me and my teammates, but support and help guide our everyday lives, and I thank them for that. Thank you for this award, it is an honor to represent Prattville Christian Academy.” said Drey.

Since 1994, Wendy’s and the Heisman Trophy Trust have been running the same play to perfection: honoring more than 600,000 of the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors. This year, Wendy’s will celebrate the accomplishments of Drey among thousands of other high school seniors who share Wendy’s values of giving back to their communities, treating people with respect, continuing education and excelling on the athletic field.

“Melanie is a true example of the type of athlete any coach would want in their program,” said PCA athletic director Tara Osborne. “She leads by example in everything she does and always has a smile on her face. Melanie encourages others through her Godly example.”

As a school winner, Drey received a certificate and a Wendy’s High School Heisman Patch.
