It is quite an honor to not only be good on the court, but to be successful in the classroom as well. These students not only keep up with their day-to-day homework assignments and exams, but also have daily practices and weekly games, sometimes even multiple games in a week or a tournament to play.Congratulations to Chase Young and Ryan Joyner on your accomplishment! Job well done!
