March 2010 - Athletes of the Week
Posted on: 03/05/2010
Week 1
Katie Lipham
Hazel Green High School
4.0 GPA
Sports: Basketball
Katie Lipham is the kind of senior student-athlete her peers look up to at Hazel Green High School. As a Varsity team member and only a sophomore, Katie set a strong example for her teammates and they rewarded her by naming her permanent team Captain. She’s also been named to the Huntsville Times Ladies Classic All-Tournament Team and was recognized for her team academics as a freshman. Katie works very hard in the classroom, working hard to maintain a strong 4.0 GPA. She’s a member of the National Honor Society, FCCLA and had been a Trojan Ambassador at Hazel Green High for two years. Katie doesn’t slow down with her community work either. Volunteering with the Special Olympics, the children’s hospital in Birmingham and coaching young girls volleyball are more than enough to keep this senior busy. Congratulations, Katie!

Patrick Junen
Huntsville High School
3.79 GPA
Sports: Football & Track
When Patrick Junen enters the doors in to Huntsville High School, this senior has ALL his priorities in order, both in and out of the classroom. Patrick starts on the football field with a love for pushing people around. He’s so good at it, he was named as a member of the All-City and All-Metro Lineman Team. His recognition as a scholar athlete began his sophomore year and hasn’t stopped. Not surprising, Patrick is a three-year letterman for football, but he’s also an accomplished Track star with letters to prove it. Academically, Patrick buckles down and gets to work. He maintains a 3.79 GPA, which keeps him in a sturdy place on the honor-roll and was nominated for a citizenship award at his school. Patrick donates a lot of his time to his church and their community projects by helping the elderly and less fortunate. He also shares his love of football by helping coach the game to young kids. Congratulations, Patrick!
