On August 10th, 2003, Preston County lost one of
its sons, when Kyle Hartman Metheny was tragically killed in a motorcycle
accident. Kyle was a standout student athlete for Preston High School from
1994 to 1996. He was a member of the Preston High basketball and football
teams, as well as Honor Society student. In his senior year as
quarterback, Kyle led the Kknights to their first ever WVIAC playoff
berth. Upon his death, the Kyle Metheny Memorial Scholarship Fund was
created to assist future Preston High student athletes. The scholarship
is given annually to an outstanding Preston High student athlete,
selected by the committee. In May of 2005, the committee voted to extend
the scholarship to a 4 year award. Each recipient of the scholarship must
meet and maintain certain criteria as set by the committee to receive the
additional disbursements. Special thanks to the owners and staff at PRO PT. Without you, Kyle's
scholarship would not have been possible.
