HECTOR of the Week
JH - Abigail Netherton -Gator has been doing an outstanding job in all of her classes. She has really stepped it up in
Math in particular. She has been very coachable in both class and sports. She gives full effort in everything she does. She
is a great example of HECTOR for Las Animas Junior High and Las Animas sports.
HS - Emma Russell: Emma was a wonderful representative of HECTOR while on the FFA National Convention trip. She
has been optimistic in staying on top of her tasks while gone and came back ready to implement what she learned.
Staff - My nomination for Hector of the week is Ann Marfil. Mrs. Marfil has displayed her dedication to LASD in a
number of ways and always steps up to the plate. She cares about the success of the students and assists them in reaching
their potential. Mrs Marfil supports teachers as well as students to the best of her ability.

Open to all ages/athletes interested in learning about the game. Then at 1pm Trojan Players will begin the shootathon (similar to a walkathon, where you commit to donating a certain amount per made basket), where all athletes will shoot 200 shots.

Then at 7pm there will be a Blue/White Scrimmage with the Women's Team playing the first half, and Men's team to finish in the 2nd half. Following the scrimmage the teams would like to invite community members to join in the competition with a 3pt contest and Knockout contest, with $5 entry.
