Athlete's of the Week:
JV - Caleb Wagner was very efficient last week on JV, and was a strong presence grabbing rebounds and protecting the rim on defense. Keep it up Caleb.
Varsity - Cordell Reisch had a good game against Trinidad where he helped the team get onto a strong start on defense with a block in the first ten seconds taking away a fast break layup. Keep it up Cordell.
