North named Fairborn Athlete of the Week

FAIRBORN — Skyhawks rookie volleyball player Elena North has been named Fairborn High School’s Athlete of the Week.

“Elena was new to the team and to setting, but worked hard every practice and game to learn. She is willing to put in extra work every day, and studied her position to get better,” said varsity girls volleyball coach Tiffany Smith. Elena led most of the year in the Greater Western Ohio Conference in serving aces, finishing with 42. When asked what advice she would give to younger Skyhawks, North said “Work hard in all you do!” Asked how Fairborn has impacted her experience, she replied “I have lots of friends here!”

Hill named Fairborn Athlete of the Week

FAIRBORN — Senior linebacker Austin Hill was recently named Fairborn High School’s Athlete of the Week.

Hill was a captain for the Skyhawks varsity football team.

“Austin played his best game in Week 10 against Xenia,” said coach Chris Roark. “Austin is a great leader on and off the football field and we will miss his leadership next season.”

When asked what advice he would give to a younger Skyhawk, Hill said: “Don’t put things off. Keep up with your school work.” When asked how Fairborn has impacted him, Hill said: “Learning to work with different coaches and coaching styles has helped me learn a lot, and that will help me in the future.”

CEDARVILLE — A food drive to offset a hunger concern in Clark and Greene Counties will culminate Friday, Dec. 2, when Springfield Emmanuel Christian Academy tips off against host Cedarville High School. The varsity boys basketball game begins at 7 p.m.
