The student-athlete of this week is Junior basketball player, Ty Cain. Ty has been successful on and off the court, balancing schoolwork with practice and training. I asked him a few questions about being named student-athlete of the week.

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

“It’s an honor to be student-athlete of the week, I’ve been working hard for this and would love to get it again in the future.”

How do you balance your schoolwork with basketball?

“It’s pretty hard, but I try my best to come home from basketball every day and do my work, student comes before athlete.”

What are your goals for this season?

“Definitely to help my team make the playoffs, get deep into the playoffs, and finish at the top of our conference.”
