Established by former Head Coach and Athletic Director Horace McCool, the Charles S. Kerg Award was named after the former Sports Editor at the Delta Democrat Times. At a time when very few media out–lets paid attention to Delta State athletics, Charles Kerg followed Delta State religiously, always making sure that Statesmen and Lady Statesmen student-athletes and their programs received the coverage they deserved.
When the award was established, Coach McCool's intent was to see that the award went to the all-around student-athlete - who not only excelled on the field, but in the classroom and in the community.
One of the most influential supporters in the history of the DSU athletic program, Charles Kerg's dedication serves to this day as not only an inspiration, but a model for how dedicated we can be to both our program and the community as a whole.
