Award presentation

Eric was so honored to receive the Trey Heye Sportsmanship Award last year.  The previous year winner presents the award the next year, so we were tickled that he was able to do that this year.  And we were beyond thrilled that it went to our friend, Malachi Keen.

Mason was the winner before Eric.  Here he is practicing with Eric before the ceremony.

Malachi told me something that really touched my heart.  After he won the award, I told him how proud of him I was.  He told me that last year he had listened to what the coaches had said they admired about Eric.  Then he decided to do some of those things.  I had no words.
