Kewaskum Senior Named to Wisconsin Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Team

Andrew Reichert, a senior at Kewaskum High School, has been named to the Wisconsin Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Team by the Wisconsin Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
The Wisconsin chapter, founded in 1993, is one of 120 chapters across the country. Each year, chapters award more than $1 million in scholarships to high school scholar-athletes.
Reichert was selected from 93 nominees statewide to be one of 14 young men named to the team. As part of the honor, he will receive a $2,000 scholarship, an award and a jacket from the foundation.
Jason Piittmann, who coached Reichert during his high school football career, nominated him for the award.
“As a coach, he was there whenever I needed someone to help with any task — from organizing equipment to talking to underclassmen and everything in between,” Piittmann said.

Reichert is actively involved in his school and community beyond football. He serves as historian for the National Honor Society, is a leadership team member and newsletter editor for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and is a member of the Kewaskum Impact Club and KEY Club. He also volunteers as a technology instructor for senior citizens and as a flag football coach, in addition to various roles through Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
“Andrew goes above and beyond in all he does,” Piittmann said.
After graduation, Reichert plans to attend Concordia University, where he will major in secondary education and play football. He and his family will be honored at a banquet hosted by the Wisconsin Football Foundation in Madison on April 27, along with the other scholarship recipients.
