MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL

Eighth-grader Barrett Whitener of Clayton was named an Indian of the Week by middle school girls basketball coach Rick Hammock. “Barrett has shown a great deal of versatility playing any number of positions while starting and coming off the bench,” Hammock said. “Last week in a key contest against league rival Highlands, Barrett again showed her selflessness by jumping into the starting lineup in an unfamiliar position – low post – and helped lead the team to a hard-fought 41-26 victory. Barrett had five rebounds, three assists and three steals while playing a terrific all-around game. Her humility, hard work and positive attitude have been an inspiration to her teammates and coach all season long.”
