Tallulah Falls School coaches have selected their Indians of the Month for September, as well as the Indian Athletes of the Week for Sept. 26-Oct. 1.
TFS Indians of the Month
Middle School Boy
Eighth grader Collin Kelly of Demorest was named an Indian of the Month by middle school cross country coach Scott Neal. Kelly recently won the 2.2 mile race at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in 15:50, the fastest middle school time on that course this season. “Collin is a team leader who balances empathy with standards, and helps to strengthen a GREAT culture while guiding his team on the paths, trails, and courses,” Neal said.
Middle School Girl
Eighth grader Sydney Coffey of Clarkesville was selected as an Indian of the Month by middle school coed soccer coach Zach Roland. “Sydney was hurt for couple of weeks,” Roland said. “ And yet she did not miss a single practice or match. She made an immediate impact on our performance as well as morale once she was able to suit up again. She is a tenacious competitor and excellent teammate.”
Varsity Boy
Junior Ian Carroll of Toccoa was named an Indian of the Month by varsity soccer coach Jonathan Roberts. “Ian has a strong work ethic in match play,” Roberts said. He is becoming a real and consistent threat from the forward position, wreaking havoc and disrupting defenses with his speed, determination, and relentless pursuit of the ball. Ian now leads in scoring with seven goals (20% of the team’s total).”
Varsity Girl
Senior Julia Nichols of Clarkesville was selected as an Indian of the Month by varsity cross country coach Scott Neal. Julia is a manager for the cross country team. “Julia’s contributions to the cross country team are numerous, varied, and exceptional,” Neal said. “ She is truly leaving a legacy of impact upon our program. She doesn’t run cross country but she runs our cross country team through organization, creativity, positive and effective communication, and an ownership mentality. She has a business mentality and a relational heart that endears her to teammates while developing specific, practical steps for excellence.”
TFS Indians of the Week
Tallulah Falls School coaches have named their Indian Athletes of the Week for Sept. 26-Oct. 1.
Middle School Boy
Tyler Farmer, a sixth grader from Mt. Airy, was selected as an Indian of the Week by middle school cross country coach Scott Neal. “Tyler is an energetic and competitive harrier who ran his best race of the year (16:19) on the 2.2 mile Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School course to place second, his best finish of the year,” Neal said.
Middle School Girl
Seventh grader Bailey Aderholdt of Eastanollee was named an Indian of the Week by middle school volleyball coach Madison Miller. Coach “Bailey always brings a good energy to the court and helps her teammates to be just as excited as she is,” Miller said. “She had a very big game against Lumpkin County at the middle school area tournament with some big blocks and hits. I am extremely proud of her.”
Varsity Boy
Junior Rylee Hunter of Cleveland was selected by varsity soccer coach Jonathan Roberts as a varsity Indian of the Week. “Rylee is part of a hard working and determined core of attackers when it comes to match-time,” Roberts said. “He is always a threat when handling the ball and creates many opportunities for our team to score. Rylee scored two in our last match: one in the first minute and then in the second-half to seal the victory for his team. He is a key element in a very successful group at TFS.”
Varsity Girl
Sophomore Eva Fang of the People’s Republic of China was named a varsity Indian of the Week by varsity cross country coach Scott Neal. “In her first year of cross country, Eva Fang ran the Athens Academy 5K course in a personal best 27:49,” Neal said. “She has improved much during the season by responding well to training runs and the faster intervals.”
