LCM center Jayden Benton is the First Financial Bank Athlete of the Week.
Coach Brad Jeffcoat couldn’t wait to brag on the junior. “Jayden starts for us in the post and is by far our toughest player. He plays hard and is our toughest defender and rebounder. He’s also an honor student and has a job on the side.”
Jeffcoat added, “As a sophomore he was on JV and played on our scout team. He didn’t have many friends on varsity because they hated when they were being guarded by him. He was relentless. This season, we started him on varsity when the football players were still playing. But when they got here, he didn’t want to give up his spot and has been there since. We’re glad he’s on our team.”
Benton and the Bears are off to a good start at 15-5. They’ll host a tournament on Dec. 29-30.
