CovCath's Aiden Jones honored with 'That's My Boy' award

The Northern Kentucky “That’s My Boy” Award is named for Brian P. Williams, a former winner of the award, who died in New York in the World Trade Center on September, 11, 2001. He was 30 years old. Brian was a three sport star and a star in the classroom at Covington Catholic High School. He had an accumulative grade point average of 4.0 and was a three year varsity letterman in football on two state championship teams. Brian was team captain his senior year and was also First Team All-State as a tight end. He was a two-time silver medalist in the discus throw at the Kentucky State Championships and was also a First Team All Conference Basketball player in Northern Kentucky.

Brian continued his football career at Columbia University in New York City where he was a starter at tight end for four years. After graduation Brian began working as a bond trader at Canton-Fitzgerald whose offices were on the top floors of The World Trade Center. We are pleased to honor Brian Williams by naming the Northern Kentucky Award: “The Brian Williams That’s My Boy Award.”

Congrats to the other Northern Kentucky finalists of Highlands’ Adam Bowman, Simon Kenton’s Josh Bowling, and Conner’s Grant Reece. A very impressive group of football players.

 

Former award winner Jack Coldiron, currently at Miami (OH), was also honored as one of four scholar-athletes from four area colleges who have “demonstrated excellence on the gridiron, in their respective areas of studies and in their campus communities.”
