M AC H I G H athletes of the week Walter Stahl Boys’ Basketball Senior / Coach: Willie Graham | Parents: Rick & Anna Senior forward Walter Stahl has played really well for the Grizzlies in their last three games against Sprague, West Salem and McNary. He made a clutch basket against Sprague that was critical in helping the Grizzlies get the win in that game and he provided the same spark off the bench for the Grizzlies in a win at West Salem last week. He followed that up with probably his best game of the season with 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists against McNary last Friday. Great Job, Walter! Hannah Smith Girls’ Basketball Junior / Coach: Sean Coste | Parents: Jeffrey & Vikki Junior, Hannah Smith has had a nice first half of the season for the McMinnville Grizzlies at the wing position. Hannah’s confidence and basketball skills have really developed over the season. Last week against West Salem and McNary, her outside shooting was consistent and her overall play (rebounding, defending, executing offensively) was very strong. Hannah has worked really hard to develop in the skill areas. She is a strong player that has excellent potential. Keep up the great work Hannah. Karl Wolff Boys’ Swimming Freshman / Coach: Jason Hafner | Parents: Eric & June Karl has shown steady improvement all season and last week against West Salem he swam two personal bests. Karl first swam a lifetime best in the 200 IM and followed that with a best time in 100 Breast. Karl also swam a leg of two Grizzly relays that finished third place securing some important points. Karl has dropped time throughout the season and is especially looking good in the breaststroke. Great job and Go Grizzlies! Malia Riggs Girls’ Swimming Senior / Coach: Jason Hafner | Parents: Matt & Eve Malia swam a solid meet last week against West Salem helping keep the girls undefeated for the season. Malia was second in the girls' 100 Fly and third in the 500 Free and also swam on two second place relays. Malia is the girls' co-captain and her leadership in and out of the pool has been a vital part of the girls' team success. Keep up the good work and Go Grizzlies!
