Spring Athletic Banquet

Tonight we attended Casen's spring athletic banquet. This banquet acknowledges the students who participated in basketball and track.

Casen received straight A's for both 
grading periods.

The head coach of the team gives an award to a student they feel display the BECATS trait. They then choose a student to give the Wildcat Heart Award to. 

Coach Blackwood, the head coach of the 7th grade basketball A team, said the following regarding the award:

    "The Wildcat Heart Award celebrates a player who embraces team work and dedication. He has consistently shown unwavering leadership and inspires others around him through all his hard work and positive attitude. He was able to elevate his performance by turning feedback into results and did so while maintaining a 90 average in all his classes throughout the year. There were times when I would ask this young man to do things on the side in a game that he was not sure he could do and never once did he let on like he couldn't be successful in what I was trying to say. He always brought a 100% into whatever we were doing. He never let me, his team, but most importantly himself down. The Wildcat Heart Award goes to Casen Hood."

Shane had to leave before the award ceremony was over, so we didn't get a picture with him. 

Casen and Coach Blackwood

Coach Blackwood served as Casen's coach both in football and basketball this year and taught him invaluable lessons that he will take with him through the coming years. We are so stinkin' proud of Casen's achievements both in and out of the classroom.
