Williamsburg’s Zaden Housekeeper was one of six students recognized at the KHSAA Boys’ Sweet Sixteen® State Basketball Tournament as a 2026 Kentucky High School Athletic Association-Kentucky Department of Agriculture Ag Athletes of the Year.
Along with the recognition, Housekeeper received a $1,000 scholarship.
“The definitive traits that make you an outstanding athlete – teamwork, leadership and resilience – are the same ones that provide success in agriculture,” Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell said. “These same skills can also translate to a successful academic career. At the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, we recognize a solid educational foundation can lead to great success in life, whether that education is through a four-year institution or a trade school.”
Housekeeper competes with the school’s Track and Field team.
