Our final award to recognize is the one that to our program is the most important. The Hounds Award is given to the player who epitimizes what this program is all about. It is an award that is voted on by your teammates, so it carries even more meaning because your peers are recognizing you.
A Hounds Award winner is someone who is a great teammate on and off the court. She is someone who is a hard worker and pushes teammates to work hard as well. She is someone who does the right things all the time and not only when it is convenient. She is someone who inspires their teammates to be better players, teammates and people. She is someone who represents in our program the right way on the court, in the classroom and in the community. She's someone who respects all those she comes across - teammates, coaches, officials, opposing players and community members. She is someone that represents all the good things that we want in the Gaston Girls Basketball program.
The winner of this inaugural award is Lexi Fern. Lexi had such a positive impact on and off the court this year. She was an excellent leader, played tremendously hard and represented everything we want Gaston to be. Lexi not only excels on the court, but also excels in the classroom, which is very important in our program. We're so lucky to have Lexi in our program and can't wait to see her back on the court next year! Congrutlations Lex!
