Its time again to honor some our awesome athletes, artists and Tigers! This week's 'of the weeks' are athletes Jett Easley and Brooklyn Brownfield; artist Levi Gant; and Tiger Eirelyn Myers.
A key member of the football team, Jett had an impressive performance in the first game of the year against Willard, according to head coach Jeremy Cordell.
“Jett is a consistent worker and a selfless football player," Cordell said. "Against Willard, Jett had an all-around solid performance, scoring an offensive touchdown, snagging an interception, and serving as an integral part of the kicking game. We are proud of Jett and the entire team for their performance against Willard."

A right-side attacker for the volleyball team, Brooklyn is having a tremendous first season on varsity, according to head coach Adeana Chrestman.
“Brooklyn has stepped into her varsity role as a right-side attacker and blocker and is doing a phenomenal job," Chrestman said. "She brings so much energy, joy, and passion every time she’s on the court. She’s very coachable and shows tremendous grit—pretty special qualities for a sophomore making her varsity debut.”

Levi is a member of the Pride of the Ozarks Marching Band and is serving as head drum major this year, according to band director Tom Meyer.
"Levi is a fine musician and a fantastic leader in our program," Meyer said. "He holds himself and others to a high standard and is an extremely hard worker!"

Eirelyn is a key leader in the JROTC program, participating in both the Raider and Rifle teams, according to sponsor Jason Allen.
"She is a talented athlete and a dedicated leader who thrives on helping others succeed," Allen said. "Over her five years in JROTC, Eirelyn has developed a wealth of knowledge that she eagerly shares with younger cadets, guiding them as they grow in both skill and confidence."
Allen continued, "During recent Raider tryouts, Eirelyn demonstrated exceptional leadership by going above and beyond to support every cadet. Whether it meant running extra miles to motivate candidates or spending additional time on the obstacle course to teach techniques and encourage others, she consistently put the needs of her teammates first. Her commitment, perseverance, and positive example made a lasting impact on everyone around her. Eirelyn is truly an asset to our program, and we look forward to seeing her lead the Varsity Raider team this year."
Congrats Jett, Brooklyn, Levi & Eirelyn!
