Kent Bond receives 2026 Banks Citizenship Award

Kent Bond, an assistant coach on two Banks Braves state championship baseball teams, received the 2026 Banks Citizenship Award at the Banks City Council meeting Tuesday, Nov. 10. Joey Bonin nominated him. "Kent Bond is the owner of Impact Physical Therapy of Banks, and he exemplifies the Banks values of hard work, service, and commitment to the community," Bonin wrote in the nomination, which was read aloud at the meeting and printed on the city's award sheet. "Kent regularly volunteers his time and expertise, providing free treatment to BHS athletes, and serving as the on-field trainer/triage personnel at football games," Bonin wrote. "This past year, he stepped up to the interim baseball coach after an unexpected vacancy, having already contributed to the Banks culture of excellence, leading the 2019 Braves to a state championship," the nomination said.
