Carsen Bane
The Braw Caddie Clan (BCC) scholarship selection committee, in collaboration with the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, has named Carsen Bane, son of David and Heidi Bane, the Stanley A. Weeks BCC Award for Excellence 2024.
An award ceremony that includes brothers, honorary brothers and community members will be held at Moonbrook Country Club on Thursday, June 13. Brothers and guests will assemble at 5 p.m. and the presentation begins at 5:30 p.m.
Bane plans to study civil engineering at Alfred State University. His academic accomplishments include being this year’s Jamestown High School valedictorian, a member of the JHS Honor Society, receiving the Rhetoric Award in English, and being on JCC Dean’s list. As an athlete, he participated in wrestling, tennis, and soccer. He excelled in football. The Buffalo News recognized him as the Section 6 Class AA First-Team All-Star running back, and the JHS Football coaches recognized him as the Most Valuable Player. Bane, a Section 6 All-Western New York and a New York State Public High School Scholar-Athlete, was also active on defense, making 71 tackles with 12 for losses.
He volunteered for various programs, including the Soap Box Derby, Babe Ruth Little League World Series, Read Across America and the Gus Macker. As a member of the Key Club, he volunteered for two JHS graduation ceremonies and baccalaureate services and lent a helping hand at the Red and Green Football Camp for children.
“Carsen’s work ethic, grit, and humility are demonstrated by his academic and athletic performance,” wrote Tom Langworthy, JHS varsity football coach and assistant principal. “When interviewed after games, Carsen consistently deflected praise to his teammates and coaches.”
Stephen Propheter, JHS physics teacher and Assistant Varsity Football Coach, said, “Carson was always prepared for class and his participation in classwork and discussions helped foster an ideal learning environment.”
Braw Caddie Clan is pleased to add to Jamestown’s positive energy by illuminating the ideals of Stanley Weeks. Awardees become honorary members, and several serve on the scholarship selection committee. Each year, the Braw Caddie Clan brothers shed light on student brilliance and how Jamestown High School teachers, coaches, and administrators provide guidance and opportunity for achievement deserving of recognition in New York state.
As the 100th anniversary of the Braw Caddie Clan approaches in 2030, the brothers envision a legacy goal to create one of the most distinguished Scholar-Athlete Awards in Western New York. In collaboration with community members committed to excellence, BCC brothers and past recipients and their parents have contributed to the Stanley A. Weeks Braw Caddie Clan Scholarship Fund, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, 418 Spring St., Jamestown, or visit crcfonline.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=1134 to provide online donations.
