Though Jacob, a team captain, might not be making the flashy plays on a weekly basis, he is a star leader and role model every day at practice.

Jacob is always positive and constantly picking up his teammates around him. His upbeat personality is contagious, and as a result he makes us better as a team every day.

Hannah exemplifies everything a good teammate should be. She comes early to practice and stays late to put equipment away.

Lauren demonstrates leadership, a positive attitude and kindness in everything she does on and off the court.

Austyn is one of the best teammates we have ever had. Every day after football practice, he picked up equipment without prompting. He also cleans up the bus after games without being asked.
