State Farm student athlete of the week

We are excited to announce this week's Athlete of the Week, Xavier Wisdom! Xavier was nominated by Coach Webb after a great win against Buffalo. Congratulations Xavier, we enjoyed speaking with you!

About Xavier:
Xavier is a junior at Butler High School. He is involved in football and track. We asked Xavier what he believes it takes to become an elite athlete. He told us, "a lot of hard work. It's all about putting in that extra time and giving over what's expected." Xavier's favorite athlete is Christian McCaffrey, a running back for the 49ers. He stated that Christian is just so fun to watch as he is very talented.

•Favorite sport: Football
•Favorite sports memory: when Mason Diehl smacked him across the face for running the play wrong
•Favorite sonic drink: sweet tea

We wish Xavier and the Butler Bears the best of luck the rest of the season!

*Each week the athlete is awarded with a certificate and a gift card to Sonic. Each Athlete of the Week will be considered for one $500 scholarship which will be awarded in May.
