Coach Chris Powers, Head Boys Volleyball Coach Jett Cowee - 11th Grade Jett demonstrates all of the qualities that you want younger athletes to emulate: Among these are preparation, consistency, and leadership. He works diligently during the offseason to ensure that he is ready to train hard and compete when the season begins. He is our top point scorer this season and he leads the team warm-up every single day. And all this while carrying a 3.9 GPA. Congratulations Jett. Coach Erik Bell, Head Boys Track & Field Coach Allison Fawcett - 10th Grade Although only a sophomore in her first season of Track & Field, Allison Fawcett is an integral part of our team. She is currently the girl’s team leader in season points and works incredibly hard and is always willing to run anything from the 200m to the 800m and contributes to any relay. Allie is very involved and expertly balances being a good student, a member of the student council, and a committed athlete in Cross Country, Basketball, and now in Track and Field. Allie is a strong leader and role model for her peers. Her positive attitude, dedication, and competitive spirit make her a perfect candidate for Athlete of the Month.
