2013 Outstanding Senior – Megan Mitchell (Forsyth County, GA)From the nomination by Adrian Prather and Diana Wieberg:
When she was in 9th grade, FLAG needed a player to skip Junior competition to complete the Senior team. Megan said, “Sure,” showing her tremendous courage to step outside the box and take a chance. This year when the high school coach decided to expand his family, Megan attended all the practices for the Middle team, taught the math games, passed out study materials, coached, and judged all our tournaments. She helped collect all the data to determine our teams and assisted our other student coach with the high school practices and tournaments at the local yogurt shop. Without Megan’s dedication and determination, our Middle/Junior/Senior teams would not be at Nationals. Megan definitely knows when to hold ‘em and knows when to fold. With Academic Games, she has never folded. |
