JANUARY JACKET BACKER ATHLETES OF THE MONTH

 Men’s Soccer – Ryan Lord, Senior

Ryan is one of our Varsity captains. He is the backbone of our team, and a great example of a STUDENT/ATHLETE. He consistently makes save after save. Ryan is a true example of leading by example. He plays with confidence and determination that fuels our team every week. He has multiple shutouts this season, and I have no doubt that a lot of success will come his way. JFND!

Women’s Soccer – Layla Amaya, Senior

Layla has put in the work during the off-season to gain an opportunity to play at the next level. Her hard work and determination set her apart. She has been an incredible leader and player for the success we have accomplished thus far. Layla is on top of her studies, and she will have an incredible future because she is always looking to accomplish her goals.

Women’s Basketball – Mack Lindigrin, Senior

Mack had a great month in January by shooting 35% from the 3pt line (11 makes), shooting 100% from the free throw line, and leading our team in steals.  She is one of our best communicators on the floor, which helps the team be "LINKED" offensively and defensively.

Men’s Basketball – Corbin Brown, Senior

Corbin was an integral part of our team’s success for the month of January.  He is a captain on our team and one of the leaders in scoring, rebounding & assists.  On top of that, Corbin has been exceptional in the classroom earning 4 A’s his first semester.  He is a great kid that does things the right way on & off the court.

Women’s Gymnastics – Peyton Wagner, Junior

Peyton is a 3rd year varsity gymnast.  While Peyton is an all around gymnast, her specialty is bars and she is ranked #7 in the state.  Peyton has the most positive attitude every day and pushes herself day in and day out to be the best she can for herself and her team.  She is blessing to everyone around her, and we look forward to more amazing gymnastics from her this season.
