The MTMS Girls Basketball team would like to recognize sixth grader Hannah O’Neal as our athlete of the week. Hannah is not only a model teammate, she is also a great student who is well liked by her peers and staff members at MTMS. She works hard every day at practice, takes instruction and applies it to her game and never lets up. She has a mean game face and truly loves the game of basketball. Whenever she made it into a contest, she always took full advantage of the time she had on the court. It is always tough to come into the season as an underclassman and make a mark on the team. Hannah has definitely done that and more. The coaching staff is super excited to see what she has in store for the rest of her basketball career at Middle! Go HAN! 🏀🖤🧡🐾

Sarah was a starting player as a 6th grader in 2020 and took a year off during our hybrid Covid year. She came back this season as an 8th grader ready to play. She worked her way into a starting position again and has scored in all but one game this season. Sarah has not only grown as a player, she has grown as a student and a teammate. One area that we have worked with Sarah on this season were her reactions to situations and body language. She has improved immensely, becoming one of the most encouraging players on the team. She cheers on her teammates when she is on the bench and does well reacting to what happens in games. We wish Sarah all the best as she transitions to the high school next year and hope to see her on the court for the Panthers again! GO SARAH!
