KBTX Media & American Momentum Bank honor 2017-18 Classroom Champions

With the 2017-18 school year winding down KBTX Media and American Momentum Bank honored this season's Classroom Champions during a banquet Wednesday evening at Christopher's World Grille.

KBTX General Manager Mike Wright along with Frank Varisco, Marketing President Bryan/College Station American Momentum Bank, congratulated the Classroom Champions along with their guests on their accomplishments during their high school careers and shared some words of encouragement.

Sam Houston State Head Baseball Coach Matt Deggs told the future high school graduates that he feels there are four pillars to success: Attitude, Approach, Intensity and Toughness. And it's how a person deals with adversity when things get tough that determines how successful you're going to be.

"A lot of people have a great attitude, great approach and a lot of intensity when what," ask Coach Deggs. "When things are going their way. But see adversity doesn't make you a man. Adversity only reveals where you're at as a man. That's the beautiful part about adversity, it doesn't make you into a man, it only reveals where you're at as a man in front of everybody and then gives you a chance to do something about it," concluded Deggs.

To date KBTX Media has crowned 771 Classroom Champions since the started back in September of 1995.
