Jacob Still for Football: “I want to pass the torch to the whole offensive line. The offensive line is a special unit within the football team that rarely gets the attention they deserve. The next group of offensive linemen will set the tone for the success of our program. These linemen understand how to work hard everyday and how to be great teammates. They are a special group that will continue to show up willing to do anything for the betterment of the team.”

Olivia Phillips for Fall Cheer: “I want to give it to Channell Cole because she is the most passionate about the cheer team.”

Sophia Quesada for Volleyball: “Baby Kate Seabrook, because we all always knew that she was the mature one.”

Kyle Mehmed for Boys Cross Country: ”I’m passing the torch to Graham Sisson for cross country because his leadership skills are as good as his flow.”

Hunter Haase for Boys Golf: “Winston [Margaritis] because he is extremely humble and one of the best golfers to go through this program and his future is great.”

Sydney Spadafora for Girls Soccer: “Avery Whitehead for girls soccer because she is so responsible and always prepared! She also knows how to keep everyone under control even when someone gets mad over a bad call that the ref made.”

Eric Matula for Boys Basketball: “Passing the torch to Grant Poteet because he’s poised for a breakout season to lead to Gryphs to another state title and earn a Division I scholarship to a top tier basketball school”

Hadley Allison for Trap Shooting: ”JD Hibner because he is a bro.”

Courtney Miller for Track: ”To carry on the legacy of the Gryphs’ track and field team, I am passing the torch to freshman Will Johns.

Where there’s a ‘Will’ there’s a way.”
