The student-athlete of this week is Junior Soccer Captain, Eric Sthole.

Sthole is a hard worker, maintaining a good GPA while at the same time leading the soccer team to victory. I asked him some questions about what has led to his success in high school.

How do you balance your academic life and athletic life?

“I always make sure to get my schoolwork done first and then for athletics I just go out there and have fun while still putting in hard work.”

How do you feel about being named student-athlete of the week?

“I am honored, I know there are many other people who are very talented both in academics and athletics, so to be chosen from all of them means a lot.”

What are your goals for the season?

“My goals for this season are to win states and just for us to work the hardest we can to get there.”

Congratulations Eric and good luck to the Men’s Soccer Team as they face off against Middle Creek today!
