MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL

Seventh-grader Haygen James of Demorest was named an Indian of the Month by middle school basketball coach Sharea Long. “Haygen has been an offensive and defensive force late in the season,” Long said. “She scored 20 points versus Highlands in the semi-finals of the Tri-State tournament to carry the team to victory. In the championship game, Haygen had nine points, multiple rebounds and defended the best offensive player on the opposing team while holding her to four points. Her heart and passion were most evident at a time in the season when her team needed her the most.”
