Boys Basketball: Isaiah averaged 7.4 PPG during the month of January. He has really played his best basketball in the last month and is starting to score double figures pretty regularly. He also did a good job in the classroom with a 3.40 GPA last semester.

Girls Wrestling: Nichole is a very dedicated individual. She is persistent in her approach to getting as best she can in the sport of wrestling. It is fun to watch her intensity in matches and her dominating personality bring many victories for her on the mat. She has expressed great interest in pursuing wrestling at the college level.
I believe she will do great things at the next level. I am hopeful and expectant to see her push through to the state tournament this year. The potential to medal is there. I am looking forward to the end of the season outcome for her.

Boys Wrestling: Tryg Zemke has been working hard this season and has really improved. He was tournament Champion at the High Desert Classic and took 5th place at the highly competitive Hood River Memorial Tournament. Tryg has also picked up some exciting dual meet wins. His willingness to ask questions and seek improvement demonstrates his commitment to the sport. He is a supportive and dependable teammate, making him a valuable asset to this team. We are very excited about his future as a White Buffalo wrestler.
Swimming: Wyatt is an extremely hard worker and approaches every practice as an opportunity to get faster and build endurance. He recently set personal best times in the 100 backstroke and 500 Freestyle finishing 5th overall in the 500 and the top 4a finisher. He brings a positive attitude every day and is a great teammate.
