Athlete of the Week
Varsity- Roree Willbanks has been working hard this year to be competitive and it showed the last two games vs Limon & Swink. She consistently hustles on defense and stops some of the opponents best players. Offensively, she runs the floor to help our transition game. We are excited for what's to come from her.
JV - Izabell Trujillo
Varsity - Kree Wallace - he has played extremely hard all year. He is top 3 in several statistical categories and even when he’s not providing scoring he is producing in other ways.
JV - Deon had worked hard all year and provides a ton of energy on the defensive side of the ball. Recently he has started being more aggressive offensively as well.
