MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL

Eighth-grader Hannah Lundy of Clarkesville was named an Indian of the Week by middle school golf coach Matt Heyl. “Hannah used her practice time very wisely this week,” Heyl said. “While others may have been slowing down on their drills she continued working. She did what she was asked to do and did it to the best of her ability. Hannah has also shown good leadership by asking important specific questions pertaining to the drill or practice time so everyone knows what to do.”
