Pirate Competitor of the Week (January 31, 2022):
Senior basketball player Hannah Lacey is this week’s Pirate Competitor of the Week sponsored by Galena Culver’s and the Galena Gazette.  Hannah averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds last week in wins over Stockton and West Carroll.  According to coach Jamie Watson, “Hannah had a great week and helped us pick up two big conference wins.  She is a really smart player and always gives maximum effort.  Hannah’s ability to run the floor and play great defense has given us a huge boost this season.  However, it was her efforts on the boards this week that really stood out.  She averaged 7 rebounds per game and kept many offensive possessions alive by working to get rebounds.  She has been a great addition to our team and she’s playing her best basketball at the right time!”  Hannah was honored with a gift basket from the Galena Culver’s, as well as a newspaper courtesy of the Galena Gazette.

Also Nominated:
Junior Sam Eaton captained the scholastic bowl team to a 3-3 record at the NUIC conference tournament and answered the second-most toss-up questions for the team: 10 out of 120. According to Coach Ron Jenkins, “Sam does a really good job listening to his teammates’ possible answers and then selecting the best one; he also comes up with good guesses when no viable answers are offered.” At the NUIC tournament, Sam led a varsity team consisting of two juniors and three sophomores and freshmen, and Galena still managed to emerge with a respectable record.
