WiNK Male Athlete of Week
Zayden Williams #3
Zayden WIlliams heated up this Wednesday. He hit shot after shot against a tough environment against the Watkinson Rams. The boys went down to Hartford this Wednesday for a heated rematch of last year's HVAL championship game. His impact was immediately felt when he got in the game, hitting shot after shot and assisting fellow junior Jack Zahner multiple times. His presence was felt on defense as well, his large frame and massive wingspan locked down any opposing guards who chose to take the challenge of matching up with Williams. Although the Rams took the game, the Generals are ready for a home matchup against a team we'll surely see down the road. The guys have a game on 12/9 at 4:00 against Forman.
WiNK Female Athlete of the Week
Jesmari Perdicho
Jesmari held the team up this Wednesday against a very strong NYMA team. She persisted and kept the team's chins up by cheering everyone on no matter the score. Coming into this game, it was a true David and Goliath story, as NYMA is a prestigious basketball program. The Knights have multiple girls who were over six-foot and could lace the ball from deep. It was a tough matchup, but through all that we had multiple girls who shined. Jesmari not only performed on the court, she picked up her teammates all game in a tough loss. The way Perdicho played against a stacked NYMA roster is a good sign for Generals fans for this promising season. The girls play their next game on Saturday against Forman.
