Cross Country Athlete of the Week
Kaiden Wheeler- He shows leadership, athletic ability, kindness, picking up of athletes and encouraging others. All traits we would like to see in all of our athletes.
Let's continue on with recognizing some of our great athletes from our 5-0 jh softball team.! Coach Reinneck and Coach Schwaegel would like to recognize the following players as Athletes of the Week!
From our first weeks of practices and games:
My first player of the week is Kennedie Evans. She is from Peoria and is new to our district. She is a seventh grader and wears jersey #24. Softball is her favorite sport. She likes to play shortstop and 1st base. Kennedie has played softball for 9 years with 5 of those years being travel ball. Her hobbies are: sports, riding dirt bikes, fishing and hunting. This year she is excited to meet new people and experience a new school. Her goals are to play softball for the Texas Longhorns and play in the AUSL. Her dream job is to be a crop specialist. Kennedie is a great addition to our team and our Lebanon Greyhound family. Congratulations Kennedie!
Harper Burress is also player of the week. She proudly wears jersey #22 and her favorite position is shortstop. Harper is in the 6th grade. She loves playing softball, basketball, volleyball and running track and field. Harper also likes to sing, act, and dance. This year her goal is to improve in softball. Harper is a true grit player. She gives 110% and is always striving to improve. Harper is a great role model for our younger girls. What she brings to the team is a very humble maturity, leadership, and a lot of fun! Harper will succeed in anything she sets her mind to do on the field, on the court, on the stage, and especially in life. Congratulations Harper!
Hayden Venhaus wears #9 and is a 7th grader. She is one of our top two pitchers. With 13 innings pitched she has walked 7 batters and struck out 27. On offense, her average is .500 with 6 hits, including a single, 3 doubles, and 2 triples. She has 7 RBIs on the year so far. Hayden is a hard worker and a great leader. She has confidence and says this year we’re going to state!! Hayden is a fun teammate and she leads by example. Congratulations Hayden!
Khloe Munton is my next player of the week. She is one of our 8th graders. She wears the #4 jersey and bats in the 4 spot. Khloe is tough! Most of the time you’ll find her behind the plate catching. She has caught in some tough games with the heat especially. When I ask her how she’s doing and check to see if she needs a replacement, she declines and says she’s fine. Khloe’s average is .615 and she has 8 RBIs so far with 8 hits. Khloe is strong and is our power-hitter. I believe she could send one over the fence this year! Congratulations Khloe!
