Baltzley is two-time All-WNY Scholar Athlete!
Akron Central Schools is pleased to recognize seven seniors who have earned Scholar-Athlete All-Western New York selection by Section VI of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. This designation is reserved for seniors with an overall grade point average of 90 or above for seven semesters who are starters or important reserves on their respective athletic teams.
Aubrianne Baltzley of Akron’s varsity girls basketball team has won the top scholar-athlete recognition. Baltzley, Akron’s 2025 Valedictorian, is a two-time winner of this recognition as she was also selected in the Fall 2024 season for volleyball. She will be featured with other scholar-athletes from Western New York in an upcoming edition of The Buffalo News and will receive a t-shirt recognizing this distinction, compliments of ADPRO Sports.
Additionally, six students from ACS earned Honorable Mention as scholar-athletes in Section VI, including Nicholas Fry of the wrestling team, Brayden Lamont and Aiden Romesser of the boys basketball team, WakinyanWin LaFromboise and Gracie Leiker of the girls basketball team, and Avery Wolfe of the girls’ swim team.
