What Being a Hawk Means to Dalton

“It means being on top of all of your responsibilities, being outgoing in your community, and most importantly, being kind to your peers.” – Dalton A.

Dalton gives his all, balancing athletic excellence with strong character and a commitment to his teammates, whether on the basketball court or the soccer field.

His basketball coach, Jason Atanasoff, shared, “Dalton is just starting to realize what he is capable of becoming, not only as an athlete but also as a student and role model. He has a heart of gold and is always willing to go out of his way to help someone. I look forward to his continued growth and know big things lie ahead for him.”

On the soccer field, Dalton’s impact is just as strong. “Dalton has been a wonderful soccer team member over the past two years,” said soccer coach Joe Manley. “He may consider basketball his top sport, but during soccer season, he is laser-focused on his improvement and commitment to his teammates. That dedication sets an incredible example for all student-athletes at a small school like Prairie. As a goalkeeper, he shoulders a great deal of responsibility, but he never shies away from a challenge. We look forward to seeing him continue to grow as a leader and role model for his peers and younger students.”

Dalton’s dedication, work ethic, and kindness make him a Hawk You Should Know.
