Athletes of the Week

Kayleigh Elchinger- Girls Basketball

Coach Thomas had this to say about Kayleigh:

"Kayleigh shows up every day ready to get better. She pushes herself to be first in sprints, she is always coachable, and just an overall positive light on our team. She has shown how consistently doing things the right way and putting in extra work can lead to growth and results. She has a love for the game that does not go unnoticed and I believe she has a bright future in basketball!" 

Jacob Newsome- Boys Basketball

Coach Games had this to say about Jacob: 

"Jacob currently leads the 8th grade basketball team in scoring. He's worked hard in the off season to develop his game and is a solid three-point shooter. His shooting ability helps spread the defense and opens up the inside game for the rest of the team. He is an unselfish player who understands the game and only takes what the defense gives him."
