These kids are getting it done! AFC is proud to be back in business.
I want to post a picture of one of the most ferocious and fearless animals, to make a point. Three weeks from their last game, these four individuals were selected as Players of the Week and Badger Spirit Award winners, because they are Badger Fearless.
Senior Quarterback, Buster Thomas. A class act and a heck of a football player and leader of this machine. He is the “Face and Attitude” of Badger Football 2020. Braeden is what we want our future Badgers to look like!
Junior Defensive End, Landon Kuhn. There’s not a player with more potential or one with more obstacles. The ultimate team player and the guy that has fought his way back from injury and illness to be the leader, everyone knew he would be.
LaTonnieo Hughes, Sophomore Special Teams Specialist. The future is bright for this back flipping, touchdown scoring human highlight reel. Another team player with so much talent, there’s a reason he’s on the field.
Kailyn Rook-Sims, Homecoming Royalty and Badger Rock Star. In this world of Covid madness, it’s a tremendous responsibility to make sure our players are safe. This beautiful member of our senior class and Homecoming Court, Kailyn chose not to sit and enjoy her moment with her Court, but instead chose to go back to the sidelines and make sure her Badgers were safe! She is a team player and student manager of Badger Football 2020.
These four student athletes will be awarded tomorrow afternoon at 3:45, at Badger Stadium. If you are able to attend, please do. These kids have sacrificed, worked, waited and got it done. Come and take pictures, shake their hand or just give them a bit of gratitude. They deserve it.
It’s a great day to be a Badger!
