PAST INDIANS OF THE WEEK

Simeon Respress - Basketball
High School Boy
Simeon Respress helped lead the team to an important victory over Walhalla with a great defensive effort. Throughout the game, Simeon played a key role in shutting down the opposing teams' offense. Simeon finished the game with 3 steals, 5 deflections, and a game-high 2 charges.
-coach Cody Coleman
Penny Damron - Swimming
Middle School Girl
Penny is a first-year swimmer who consistently arrives to practice with a positive attitude and is ready to work hard. Penny always has a smile on her face and gets along well with her teammates. She also works hard to apply feedback from her coaches into each new swim. Penny's hard work paid off this past weekend where she dropped 7 seconds in her 50 freestyle and 3 seconds in her 50 breaststroke. Her PRs also helped her score 13 points, assisting her team to a 1st place finish.

Jackson Savage - Basketball
Middle School Boy
Seventh-grader Jackson Savage is the middle school boys basketball nominee for Indian of the Week. Jackson was forced into a difficult situation this season, being required to lead the team at point guard, which is not his natural position. He never complained and instead took the challenge head-on. Our last game of the season, the team faced pressure defense against a much older and bigger opponent, and Jackson continually beat the pressure and never gave up. He gave max effort in everything he did.
