Congratulations to Eli M., Clayton D., Reagan S., and Mireya R. for being selected as Top Performers over the past few weeks!
Eli has been playing hard every game and defends the ball very well. He also is a leader at practice and pushes others to be better.
Clayton is a silent leader. He leads by example and does what he is asked to do with no questions asked. Clayton always hustle, but most importantly, is not afraid to take a charge. Clayton already has 7 charges in 10 games this season!
Reagan is a wonderful portrayal of a quiet leader! She leads by example and is a phenomenal role model for the younger members of the Wildkits. Her flexibility and technique also make her a wonderful dancer.
Mireya is a very powerful dancer! She has energetic moves and great facials that always engage the crowd at basketball games. She also has great tumbling and jumps!
