The Aces Heart and Soul Award was given to Heather Dial. The award is in memory of Julia Darlington Chytracek.

A total of 57 medals and awards were handed out to students at Eckville Junior Senior High School recently for excellence in sports.

The annual Red and Black Awards were held at the school on June 20, with coaches handing out awards to students in various categories.

From sport specific awards to MVPs, the students were honoured for their hard work and sacrifice to their chosen sport.

Along with the student athletes honoured, the school also took a moment to recognize Deb Macrae. The long-time receptionist at the school is retiring after 26 years as an Ace.

Macrae was awarded the Aces Community Recognition Award on June 20.

“Our school community will miss her, as she has always been a supporter of our students and the parents. She always found a way to make things possible,” Dana Dennehy said in an email.
