Congratulations to our recent Top Performers!
Congratulations to Drew B.! Drew has shown tremendous growth from last season to this season. He has been a force on the defensive end, consistently pulling down rebounds and making it difficult for opponents to score. Drew has also stepped up in a big way by logging significant minutes in both the 7th and 8th grade games. To top it all off, he has already contributed an impressive 58 points this season. Keep up the great work, Drew!
Congratulations to Adalynn C.! Adalynn never gives less than her absolute best effort every time she steps on the court. She hustles on every play and is often found diving on the floor. She is the true definition of a good teammate because she will do anything to help her team have success. Last night she played great defense and also added 5 points including a 3 point shot in a hard fought win over Metamora.
Congratulations to Aria W.! Aria has stepped up in any way that we have asked her to this season. She has filled in when our team had some players that were sick and some injuries. She has become more confident on the court and came through in a big way with 5 timely points in the victory over Metamora last night. A great team player that will do whatever she is asked to do.
And congratulations to Mrs. Hermann! Whether it's coaching, teaching, organizing a field trip, or creating a fun experience for the students, you can bet that she's on top of it! This teacher does it all and makes a difference for students every day. Thanks for all you do for the seventh grade, Mrs. Hermann!
