Agre wins medals

At 6’1 she stands in the middle of the court. She looks at her teammates smiling back at her as her name is announced. She proudly wears her medal. To most everyone who knows her, she is an athlete. Junior and three-year Varsity player Stephanie Agre lives for the game of basketball; this year she has proved it is her game. So far this year Agre has been chosen for the all-tournament team three times. That’s three more than many can say they have been chosen for.

 

“It’s just a rewarding feeling,” Agre said. “It felt like I worked hard last year, and this year I stepped up my game more, and it was nice to get recognition for it.”

The all-tournament team is a team that any player would be honored to be on. It is composed of 7-10 players chosen from any team playing in the tournament. Agre was chosen based on her play in the Marquette tournament on Dec. 2, the Rockwood Summit tournament on Dec. 27, and the Warrenton tournament on Jan. 2. Her talent played a big role in why she was chosen, but her teammates admire more than just that.

“She’s hardworking and determined all the time,” sophomore and teammate Kelsey Fouch said. “She always has a positive attitude and shows us that if we work that hard, we can be successful too.”

As a team captain she has proven that she can lead her team. She can lead a team with her spirit and with her skills she a lead a team to victory. So far this season Agre has scored 247 points, averaging 14.1 a game. She’s had 109 rebounds, averaging 6.4 a game. She has a 68.9 percent free-throw average and 39 blocks. On top of that, she is the number two scoring leader in the GAC South district, number seven in rebounds, and third in blocked shots.

“I owe a lot of my success to coach Hahn,” Agre said. “She’s always pushing me my hardest in practice and games, and of course my teammates because they always keep me up and make me smile. It’s nice to have people that care about you no matter how you play.”

It’s her team that sticks with her through the season, it’s her team that overcomes the losses and celebrates the wins with her, and it’s her team that gets to share the recognition of being chosen for the all-tournament team. The lady Knights, with a current record of 8-13, look to Agre as a role model.

“Having her keeps the morale of the team high,” friend and teammate Dianna Prost said. “If we’re in trouble she’s there to pick us up and we can always rely on her. She’s sort of a threat to the teams we play.”

Agre hopes to continue her legacy at North, and eventually carry it to a division one team in college. With the success she had this year many see a bright future for her, and FHN fans will continue to watch her develop as an athlete.

“With every honor you receive it increases your motivation,” Coach Dawn Hahn said. “It’s helped pick up the team and see what everyone can accomplish.”
