Our Female Athlete of the week is Serenity Bechtle! Coach says "Serenity Bechtle is the cheer athlete of the week. Serenity is a steady leader on our squad who is dependable and reliable. She brings a calm presence and respect by following directions and asking questions to ensure she understands what to do. Her confidence has grown from football cheer to boys' basketball cheer, and this shows in her actions during games. Serenity does what I ask her to do and never complains. Her positive attitude and work ethic model what it means to follow."

Great job, Serenity! #TheBulldogWay.

Our Male Athlete of the week is Paxton Barnhart! Coach says, "Paxton Barnhart is in his 2nd year of quiz bowl, coming to practice each day with contagious enthusiasm and success. It is rare that you find a student who thoroughly enjoys learning as much as Paxton. He follows the rules and etiquette of quiz bowl and encourages his teammates to do the same. He has become an asset to our team and demonstrated strong leadership. I'm glad Paxton is on our team and can't wait to see his continued growth!"

Proud of you, Paxton!! #TheBulldogWay

Our Male Athlete of the Week is Sawyer York. Sawyer consistently shows determination and focus, pushing himself to improve every day. He competes with intensity, stays locked in during practice, and can always be counted on when his team needs him. Sawyer’s work ethic and commitment set a strong standard for those around him, and his leadership through actions makes a big impact on our program. Congratulations, Sawyer—well deserved!

Our Female Athlete of the Week is Abiggail Kearns! Abiggail is the definition of a great teammate—she brings a positive attitude every day, works hard in practice, and always puts the team first. Whether it’s encouraging others, doing the little things right, or leading by example, Abiggail consistently shows what it means to represent our program the right way. We’re proud of her dedication, effort, and Bulldog spirit. Keep up the great work, Abiggail! #TheBulldogWay
