Hoosier Heartland Conference
Congratulations
to Justin Huddleston of Tri-Central High School, this week’s Hoosier
Heartland Player of the Week! He was nominated by his head coach, Kim
Drake.
Huddleston plays on the Trojan golf team, and shot a 39
in the season opening match against Alexandria Monroe and Hamilton
Heights.
“Beyond that, he works extremely hard in practice. He
shows up at least 30 minutes prior to practice every day to work on his
game,” says Drake.
She added,”He also provides good leadership for the younger players.”
The senior’s work ethic is not limited to athletics.
“Justin
serves as an intern for an accounting firm and he has been very devoted
to his work there as well. Justin is overall a good student and very
conscientious about all that he undertakes.”
Congratulations once again to Justin Huddleston, the Hoosier Heartland Conference Player of the Week.
