Eagle of the Week
Eagle of the Week honors goes to Jackson Green! As of last week, Jackson had not scored a point the entire year. Yet he is just as important and critical to the teams' success. He listens to coaches and does what he is asked without question. He plays aggressive fundamental defense, rebounds and passes with all his might. His individual effort not only provides the other players opportunities to score, it raises their gameplay to a different level. His heart is contagious! He never complains when its time to sit the bench, doesn't say a word about the position he's asked to play, or doesn't get discouraged because he hasn't scored. He is an extremely unselfish player and the perfect role model for his team, and all of HPS student athletes. Go Jackson, and go Eagles!
