Week 5 3/4 Hustle Award
The 3/4 grade hustle award for week 6 goes to a youngster that even hustles up to the crowd to give his carnation away!! Ive had the pleasure of coaching Cruz Miller for a couple years now and this kid knows how to "take off the gloves" when the game is on the line. Again, not a prolific scorer (yet) but what he does in every other facet of the game is admirable, Not to mention his attitude... always a smile on his face. If he creates a turn over, hes the first one running down the court to defend the fast break. A true pleasure to have on any team. Great job Cruz, keep up the hard work! PS, you've reached your question limit for this season...
Week 5 5/6 Hustle Award
Emmett Herrick is this weeks hustle award winner for the 3/4 graders. Emmett is what i like to call the "silent assassin". Soft spoken but, coachable, likable, and not afraid to throw it all out there for his team and the win. While Emmett might not light up the scoring column, all the little things he does on the defensive side of the ball as well as setting great screens definitely contributes to his teams overall success. Check out Emmett's hustle and determination the next time he's on the court!
