Wyatt Whipple (JV Boys Basketball)
Wyatt provided a huge spark for the JV Boys’ basketball team in their win over Burnt Hills on Thursday. With the team working through foul trouble, Wyatt provided strong minutes and scored 10 of his 12 points in the first half to provide a 2 point lead heading into halftime. Wyatt is a tireless worker and is always putting the team first. He picks up his teammates and supports them as much as he can so they can find their own success. His positive attitude provides others around him an example of a great teammate. Keep it up Wyatt!
