RED OAK -  Fourth grader Drew Davis was honored by the Red Oak Hawks Varsity
Baseball team and Project Success as one of two First Pitch Kid students prior
to the Hawks vs. Lancaster varsity baseball game.
Drew was nominated by Coach Judi Ray. Drew’s interests include baseball,
fishing, hunting, reading and chess. Drew loves playing baseball and supporting
the Texas Rangers. Coach Judi Ray stated that Drew is extremely bright and loves
sports and being outdoors. He loves going hunting and fishing with his Pappy,
and helping others.
Seventh grader Logan Heckart was also honored and nominated by Coach Fagan.
Logan plays football, basketball, runs track and pole vaults at the ROJH. Logan
was nominated because he shows great work ethics and leadership as a 7th grade
athlete.
He is very respectful and does a great job on his school work. Coach Fagan also
stated Logan is an outstanding student at the ROJH who goes above and beyond
what is required of him. As a student he takes care of business in the classroom
and respects his teachers and peers. On the playing field Logan is a jack of all
trades, he is QB of the football team, point guard on the basketball team, and a
great pole vaulter and distance runner on the track team.
These two great students are being presented with an autographed baseball from
the Red Oak Hawks Baseball Team along with a certificate from ROHS Varsity
Baseball and Project Success. Great job to all these fine students, their
teachers and principals who nominated them for this honor.
