Its time again to honor some our awesome athletes, artists and Tigers! This week's 'of the weeks' are athletes Sterling Stine & Natalie Morgan; artist Alexis Dalton and Tiger Connor Coffey.
Sterling is a member of the football team and works hard every day, according to Head Coach Jeremy Cordell.
"Sterling is one of our most dedicated players and hardest workers in the program," Cordell said. "He gives his best effort daily in school, weights, practices, and competition. He is an outstanding teammate respected by all and leads with his actions on a daily basis."

Natalie is a catcher for the varsity softball team and has been an incredible leader this season, according to Head Coach Jimmy Nimmo.
"Natalie has played such a vital role this season," Nimmo said. "She has stepped up as a team leader by not only with what she says, but by her actions. Her love for her teammates and the game is clearly seen on a daily basis. Natalie is having a phenomenal year batting 0.495 with 49 hits and 13 home runs going into district play. She has done a great job behind the plate by making our pitchers better and by just being an absolute workhorse. Natalie Morgan is well deserving of this recognition."

Alexis is just one of Ozark's many incredible artists, and her talent truly awes art teacher Lindsey Johnson.
"I have Alexis in drawing," Johnson said, "and I am always amazed at the level of detail and imagination that she puts into her work. Just doing the basic assignment is never enough; she goes above and beyond to create amazing works of art that showcase her skill and creativity."

Connor is one of the many talented chefs at Ozark High School and he is a very hard worker, according to culinary teacher, Chef Laurent Watts.
"Connor never gives up," Watts said. "Whatever he is working on may not be the prettiest, but he never gives up on it and sees it through to the end. Sometimes that is what we need in the kitchen when experimenting with new recipes."
Congrats Sterling, Natalie, Alexis and Connor!
