The Mules Booster Club has named Poplar Bluff High School athletes Hannah Kee and Jay Edmundson as the September Athletes of the Month, presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.

Edmundson, who is the Mules starting quarterback, has amassed 1,283 passing yards and 493 rushing yards this season, as of the recognition, for a total of 1,206 career rushing yards.

“Jay is an exceptional athlete and leader of the football team,” said Mules football coach Jeff Mannon. “He has been a dedicated, multi-sport athlete for his high school career and has worked countless hours becoming the best version of himself.”

Kee, a senior tennis player, won first place in the individual bracket at the Farmington Tournament and also helped the Lady Mules win their first district title since 2003.

“Hannah is extremely dedicated to her academics and her team,” said Lady Mules tennis coach Michelle Massey. “She constantly works on her skills in her free time and never backs down from a challenge.”
