Freshman Molly Mitchell is nominated as Indian Athletes of the Week for placing fourth in a recent tournament. This year the fishing team is fishing the Georgia High School Fishing Trail, alternating between Lake Lanier and Lake Hartwell.  

“We would normally be fishing a different lake every month,” said Team Captain Jeff Mitchell. “The kids that fish this trail are on the water every day after school. They are serious high school anglers that have a lot of experience with this fishery. To get a fourth-place finish against this competition is a huge accomplishment.”

Mitchell said Molly fished hard in tough conditions.  

“You really have to concentrate and focus,” he said. “Dragging the bait slowly over the rocks on the bottom and being able to determine when the fish picks up the bait.  You introduce the wind, rain, and waves into the equation and it’s an advanced technique that’s a struggle for many accomplished anglers.”

Brooklyn Reed took on an important role in leadership this week. Not only did she run a majority of practices by herself this week, but she also spoke with the 5th-grade students concerning teamwork. Brooklyn and co-captain Lizzy Wanner spoke with the 5th graders about working together, cooperating with each other, taking turns, and listening powerfully to each other while working as a team. Mrs. Kyle said Brooklyn "spoke with clarity, compassion, and humor." Brooklyn's willingness to share important teamwork skills with younger students and the ability to lead practices this week are a testament to the character that she demonstrates daily as a cheerleader.
