Most Valuable Teammate Week 6
Harry is a young man who has sacrificed a ton for his team by giving up his time to go to boot camp, but always kept in touch with his teammates during that time and serving as a caption for the football team while in boot camp. When on the field, you won’t find a young man who is more optimistic with all of his teammates and goes out of his way to help younger teammates on and off the field. He is not only willing to sacrifice for his country but sacrifice each and every day for the betterment of his team.
Most Valuable Teammate Week 5
Jaheim, a two-year starter, was lost for the 2020 season due to an injury but that didn’t stop him from fulfilling his role as captain. He shows up at every practice and game while working a full-time job and earning Bs in the classroom. Dedicated and hardworking, Jaheim is an example of excellence who goes the extra mile for others and expects nothing in return.
Most Valuable Teammate Week 3
Caden wasn't able to participate in cross-country this season due to injury, but he never complained that he wasn't able to run. Instead, Caden was at every practice and meet, encouraging his teammates, helping the coaches, and offering his assistance. His leadership is a wonderful example for others to follow.
Most Valuable Teammate Week 2
Triniti has always been a positive force on her teams and in school. She is our starting middle hitter on the volleyball team, plays basketball, and is a thrower in track. When volleyball was moved to the spring, she went out for soccer just to be part of the team. Triniti is a great teammate and excels in whatever role she is given.
Most Valuable Teammate Week 1
Aidan, a team captain, has dealt with the pandemic in a supreme way. He came back from a trip to Italy last spring and was forced to quarantine for two weeks as a safety measure. He never complained and worked very hard all offseason to help prepare the team. Three games have been lost due to COVID-19 but Aidan never complained. He is a great teammate.
Most Valuable Teammate Week 20
As captain of a team that has had little success on the scoreboard, Chase has filled many different roles. He has done so without complaint and is a constant leader and supporter of all players on the team. TCU will have a better program in the future because of Chase's leadership.
