Badger Player of the WeekWeek of September 26  High SchoolBraedyn JohnsonCascade High School Volleyball would like to recognize Braedyn Johnson as our superb athlete of the week. Standing at 5 foot 7 inches with a 21 inch vertical Braedyn drifts between outside hitter and middle blocker for the Badger Varsity Volleyball team.   Braedyn has put in a lot of time over the summer, staying late after practice, and doing extra weight and skill training on her own to develop and enhance her volleyball game.  In just the last month we have seen her hard work really paying off as she not only excels in the front row but is becoming a very dynamic  back row defender.  “Braedyn is the type of kid that coaches just love to have in the gym; she is an extremely hard worker, positive, coachable and a great teammate.   Her self discipline and dedication to the sport of volleyball is becoming very apparent and she is starting to shine on the court.  I am so excited to watch her grow over the next half of the season and into next year.” Coach Liz Junior HighEmma Edmundson6th grader Emma Edmundson is cross country's athlete of the week. Her work ethic day in and day out showcases what Cross Country is all about. She runs with grit and determination. She is a fierce competitor and leader among our Jr. High girls' team. She is strong, hardworking, focused and encouraging to others. Emma has improved her time at each meet throughout the season. This past week at Headwaters Invitational in Three Forks, Emma ran 2 miles in 13:47 coming in 2nd in the Jr. High girls' race.

Badger Player of the WeekWeek of September 19th  High School Nathan Gatch Senior Nate has shown great leadership over the years I’ve coached him- He is extremely hard worker and has made himself into a very good football player- His leadership was put to test this past week after disappointing team lost against Lone Peak and he and his team responded with a huge homecoming win over Chouteau 40-12 last Friday night.  I’m super proud of the person that Nate has become and leader he is on and off the field!GO Badgers!Coach DirkJunior HighIsaac EdmundsonIsaac Edmundson was a standout performer both on and off the field this week.  Isaac plays quarterback, receiver and safety for the Badgers and his positive, can-do attitude combined with a steady demeanor makes him a natural leader for those around him, especially on the Junior High football team.  On the field, Isaac's quick-thinking and elusiveness led the Badgers to two wins this week.  Isaac scored a total of five touchdowns (runs of 45, 32, 21, 6 and 44 yard punt return), intercepted a pass and made several key tackles that helped the Badgers to hold opponents scoreless in both games.  Highlighting Isaac's accomplishments, he is playing quarterback this year for the first time.  He has done a fantastic job picking up the position, earning the starting quarterback position for the 6th/7th grade team and the key backup role to the 8th grade team.
