Bonus Rocket Dawg of the week!
Last week we missed the RDW, so this week we get two!
Brookelyn Rought a senior cheerleader.
Coach Moore had the following to say about Brookelyn:
“Brookelyn Rought is the epitome of what a cheerleader should be. Brooke is hardworking, dependable, and tough. She takes initiative, leads the underclassmen with class, and goes above and beyond even after practice is done. Brooke treats everyone with kindness and is a model student as well! While others are goofing on bus rides, she's working math problems. Brooke has big goals and I have 100% confidence she will achieve them and continue to make Rocket City proud as she pursues her dreams. Brooke approaches each practice with grit yet somehow also patience and infectious joy. I hope my own children will be like Brooke. She's an incredibly special athlete and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to coach her these past 3 seasons! Brooke has helped me to grow as a coach, and I can't wait to see where her journey leads!!”
JT Fansler - Soccer - Rocket Dawg of the Week!
Coach Kody Harrell had the following to say about JT
Is the heart of our team he keeps everyone organized and is like having another coach on the field. His leadership and passion represents everything it means to be an athlete at RP! He has saved countless goals throughout the season on tremendous hustle plays!! Recovering for teammates, JT is the teammate who doesn’t make many mistakes but is always there to win a challenge and win the ball back when a teammate loses it.
JT has unbelievable heart and hustle and is a true DAWG on the field playing much bigger than his size. He hangs with the big boys and puts his body on the line EVERY GAME!
