We are so excited to announce this week’s C & S Graphics and Kellie Davidson State Farm Agent athlete of the week, from Adrian, sophomore Elijah Hubbard. Elijah was nominated by his head baseball coach Tanner Pitts after their big win against conference rival Warsaw where Elijah had 4 RBI’s and 2 runs scored going 3 for 5 at the plate. Coach Pitts stated “Elijah is an exceptional student and person. He is the epitome of what it means to be a Blackhawk and to have Blackhawk pride. He is one of the most kind and respectful students. The win against Warsaw was a big win for our program, and Elijah was a big contributor to that win.” Elijah is a four sport athlete for Adrian, participating in football, basketball, track and baseball. He states currently football is his favorite. When we asked him what it takes to excel as an athlete he stated “I’ve been blessed with talents and I give all glory to God each time I get the opportunity to compete. It’s all about doing the extra little things and getting 1% better each day. Going to practice and putting in the work, but also taking care of your body, stretching, icing and doing those things outside of practice that make you more successful.” Elijah is just a sophomore, but when we asked him his future plans he stated he has hopes of competing at the collegiate level in football and majoring in sports medicine/physical therapy once he graduates. It was such a pleasure meeting Elijah. We wish him and the Blackhawks the best of luck as they continue to compete this season.
