Phil Womble Ethics Award: Jackson Mauze, Cate School

Cate junior Jackson Mauze is an all-county and all-CIF third baseman as well as a standout on the Rams’ 8-man football team and soccer squad. He is on pace to earn 12 varsity letters in his Cate career.

He holds a 3.5 GPA and, most importantly, serves as a role model and mentor for younger students.

“It was a no-brainer on who to give this award to today,” said Athletic Director Wade Ransom. “He stands apart in the choices that he makes.”

Ransom said that on three separate occasions officials have come up to him just to compliment Mauze’s sportsmanship, as he always shows respect for the other team and helps people up.

“As teachers, it’s students like Jackson that make us do what we do,” said Ransom.
