FEBRUARY SCHOLAR ATHLETES of the MONTH
Leah Nash
"Leah Nash embodies everything that a Scholar Athlete should. She is a High Honors student with a 4.46 GPA and the Senior Class President. Leah is also ranked seventh in her class, takes multiple AP classes, and is a member of the National Honor Society and Captains Council. Additionally, she is a member of the school's varsity soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams and also plays club soccer. Leah is also a three-sport captain at Monomoy Regional High School which attests to the fact that she is respected amongst her coaches and teammates. She leads by example and is a positive influence on everyone around her. Leah Nash truly is the definition of a Scholar Athlete." -Coach Bill O’Connell
Sergi (Bradley) Alexis
"3 years ago, Coach Arnold and I met after the season to discuss what the boys basketball program was missing. Unanimously we acknowledged that what was missing was student leadership. Little did we know that one of the greatest leaders we would be fortunate to have, at the time was a quiet sophomore by the name of Sergi Bradley Alexis. This year has undoubtedly been an extremely difficult one for Brad and still, he has flourished. Not only has Brad balanced being a Captain on the basketball team and a phenomenal student-athlete - he has also continued to work hard cooking at Kream and Kone and also being a great and loyal son and grandson. Brad has taken each challenge put in front of him straight ahead, and continues to put his family and teammates above himself. Brad has been a huge part of the boys basketball team's success this season. He also has been tremendous at taking the young players under his wing and taught them valuable lessons in what it takes to be great. On behalf of the boys basketball program, congratulations to Bradley.... AND THANK YOU!" -Coach Dan Taylor
