Seniors, Reinhardt Recognized for Achievement, Commitment

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

GOSHEN — At Bethany's annual Awards Day presentation this afternoon, seniors Jordan Weaver and Jenae Rupp were honored with the school's annual Outstanding Senior Athlete Award. Weaver is a four-year letterwinner in boys soccer and a three-year letterwinner in boys basketball, and is tied with coach Hank Willems ('89) for ninth on the career goals list with 39 including 17 last year. Rupp is a two-year letterwinner at Bethany in both girls basketball and volleyball after transferring from NorthWood prior to the 2007-08 school year. She led the basketball team with 311 points this season and finished with 474 including her sophomore season at the Panther Pit.

Receiving Senior Scholar-Athlete Awards were Tim Gautsche, Erin Helmuth, Johnny Kauffman, Chelsea Noble, Jenae Rupp, Jared Schwartzentruber, Luke Slagel, Alisha Snyder, Jodi Stutzman, and Alita Yoder. Baseball and JV girls basketball coach Brent Reinhardt's athletic commitments were considered in his receiving the Teacher of the Year award.

Though no official signings have occurred, Weaver and Yoder will attend Goshen College on athletic scholarships.

Girls Basketball Awards

Tonight was the girls basketball awards program. In said program, the following awards were, um, awarded.

• MVP: Jenae Rupp ('09)
• Most Improved: Ali Hochstetler ('11)
• Sportsmanship: Sarah Lederman ('09)
• JV "MVP": Malaina Weldy ('12)

In other news, Bethany was recently awarded an IHSAA sportsmanship award for the 2007-08 school year.

Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week: February 8-14

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

The Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week for February 8-14 is Jenae Rupp. To know what Rupp has done to win this honor, type her name into the search box at the top of the page (or click here). If you don't understand the award, feel free to comment (link at the bottom of the post) or e-mail me.

Eligibility: Literally all Bruins in a position to win any high school athletic letter (varsity, JV or freshman) during the current season, and their middle school counterparts, are eligible. The only exceptions are the winners from the last three weeks: Rupp, Seth Kauffman, and Natalie Thorne. As three weeks have elapsed since Ben Bontreger's win on January 25, he becomes eligible next week.

Next Week: Next week's nominations will be due Sunday, February 22, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The list of times by week is linked to on the right side and here. As I said several months ago, the first person to correctly name how I determined the times will get mentioned in a future post. To nominate someone, send an e-mail to senorloco1908@gmail.com and put "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" in the subject line. (You can even include the quotes if you want; a link that should do this is at the top of this post.) The body of the message can be used for whatever you want. The three simple things that will disqualify a message are:

1. A subject line that reads "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" without actually naming an athlete.
2. Anyone nominating multiple people will have only the last nomination counted.
3. Señor Loco reserves the right to ignore e-mails with unnecessarily vulgar sections.
