MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL

Sixth-grader Maggie Shelton of Cornelia was selected as an Indian of the Week by middle school girls basketball coach Sharae Long. “Maggie has stepped out of her comfort zone and is beginning to be a vocal leader,” Long said. “She encourages her teammates to push themselves during every drill while pushing herself as well. She scored a big bucket in the game against Rabun Gap-Nacoochee that gave her a huge boost of confidence to better her game. She always has a good attitude and works hard in every practice.”

MIDDLE SCHOOL BOY

Eighth-grader Jack Zhong of China was named an Indian of the Week by swim coach Annette Cochran. “Jack came into the season with limited skills but has worked hard all season to get better,” Cochran said. “Jack consistently gives 100% each day at practice and is not afraid to go the extra mile. This past week, swimmers completed a 30-minute dry-land session. Jack worked an extra 30 minutes longer than the other middle school students because he wanted to be ready for the upcoming meet.”

Sarah helped lead multiple dry-land groups this past week. She is an amazing swimmer and represents all aspects of a GREAT athlete.”
