PIERRE – Governor basketball players Remington Price and Ray Crow have been chosen as the Pierre Athletic Coaches Association-Avera Athletes of the Week for the week ending February 13.
Price leads the Governor girls in scoring and is now in the top five in program history for made three-pointers in a single season.
Head Coach Kirk Beebout said in nominating Price, “Remi has dedicated herself to the game of basketball by spending countless hours not only during the season but out of season as well on improving her skills and challenging herself by playing against top competition and seeking others who will provide her with opportunities to improve. Her efforts have led her to become a prolific shooter and consistent scorer. Remi is also the type that works hard to improve in all areas and has taken steps forward as a defender and rebounder. She continually wants to improve and is coachable in that she genuinely wants to know what to work on and how to do it- and then gives her full effort. Beyond what Remi brings on the floor for our team, she is also always the first to lift a teammate up and be excited for others success. Remi is a leader through her work on the court, through her interactions with her teammates, and through the way she carries herself in all circumstances. She is a great example of what we want the Pierre Governor Girls’ Basketball Team to be about. We are excited for all that Remi has already accomplished and can’t wait to see what is in store for her next!”
Crow was nominated by Head Coach Terry Becker, who said, “Ray has been a major contributor in both practices and games this entire season. Many of the stats that do not show up in the box score, but make a tremendous difference in the outcome of a game, are the things he takes pride in. His defensive energy, communication efforts, and confidence have elevated his and his teammate’s performances each day in practice and in games. Ray has a daily desire to learn, and is eager to become the best he can be.”
