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.

Honorable mention also goes to the other two nominees in no particular order:

Tyler Child from Lafayette Central Catholic, junior catcher on the baseball team.  Tyler went 4-7 with 4 RBI's including 3-run home run in a doubleheader sweep of Tri-Central. Child was nominated by LCC head baseball coach and athletic director Tim Bordenet.

Riley Eller, pitcher from Carroll (Flora).  Riley threw a 2 hitter against Winamac, struck out 13 batters in 5 innings, had no BB, and was on the assist for the 14th out. Eller also had 2 doubles in the game. Eller was nominated by Steve Keown head baseball coach at Carroll (Flora).
