Lutheran’s Micah Mackay earns the Blake Ress Mental Attitude Award

During the awards ceremony, Micah Mackay of Indianapolis Lutheran High School was announced by the IHSAA Executive Committee as the recipient of the Blake Ress Mental Attitude Award in Class 1A Football.

The award is annually presented to a senior who is nominated by his principal and coach, and has demonstrated excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability during his four years of high school.

Mackay is an outstanding student holding a 4.1 GPA, is a member of the National Honor Society and a Student Ambassador at Lutheran High School.

Micah is a three-sport athlete lettering in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a Class 1A All-State pick last year as a wide receiver and ranks third in the state in receiving yards starting today’s game with 1,403 yards and 16 TDs. 

He is the son of Marcus and Jena Mackay of Zionsville, IN. He is undecided on a college choice but has a desire to study mechanical engineering. 

The award is named in honor of Commissioner Emeritus Blake Ress, who served as the IHSAA’s seventh commissioner from 2000-11.

The Indianapolis Colts, a corporate partner of the IHSAA, presented a $1,000 scholarship to Lutheran High School’s general scholarship fund in the name of Micah Mackay.
