athletes have grown mentally, physically, and developed team first concepts. We have
also developed friendships/bonds that are really special. The growth of responsibility
and dedication in our athletes is vital to success in their future. So happy to see so many
of our young girls and boys making the most of themselves and helping others.
Our MISD Athletic Words of the Week have been “Decision Making”. Coaches talked to
athletes about making quality decisions, asking for help in making decisions, and spending
some time deciding goals for themselves and sticking with them. Our Athletes of the Week
are: Lyric Turton, Emely Rodriguez, Alanna Copado, Sydney Saad, Landon Wood, Brady Schwab,
Andrew Dawson, Tre Whitaker, Eli Ringel, Hayden Flynn, Jun Deng, Ethan Marr, Zack Wermske.

We reminded the athletes that it is great to have a break and relax. We talked about getting
exercise/ pick up basketball/football/bike riding/jogging, etc….keeping up the conditioning that
they have gained since August – being active, making good decisions, and helping their parents
while on winter break.
Have the best winter break with your athlete! Really enjoy some quality time together! Make
some long lasting memories together!
GO DOWELL!!!!
