Starting High School Right

By Adrianna Hanzak

After asking Chris about himself, Chris stayed true to his funny reputation

Upon the many factors that make up the functioning gears of of the game, one particular athlete stood out among the wave of jerseys: this one labeled 15. Chris Blauman started his high school career with one trained eye on the court and the other on the the books. His huge contribution of an average 15.4 points per game helps the team dramatically through the three quarters in which he is able to play.
 His teammates have spoken highly of him both on and off the court, saying he is funny and a good person to be around. Sam Miller, a past team mate from soccer, described him as “a good teammate and leader,” when asked what he thought made him standout. 
His talents stretch far, not only covering basketball but also to the books. Chris works hard to keep his mind sharp, striving for a high GPA, a goal for him throughout High School. 
While going through high school playing his favorite sport, basketball, and watching his favorite movie, UP, he is striving to make as many good memories as he can. When asked what he thought his favorite memory would be, his response was the first pep assembly. Madison High School puts on many pep assemblies, providing the school with more school spirit and students baring the school colors, making it no surprise it made a lasting impression on the freshman athlete. 
Outside of school and basketball, Chris is notorious for his memorable red hair and hilarious personality that entertains many of his peers and friends. Countless times while asking around had I come across a person who identified Chris in that very way. 
Aside from his personality and looks, he has many interests for his future down the road of his high school life. As of now he focuses on the books to accomplish his goal of a high GPA, taking honors classes, which he hopes will carry him far and bring him closer to his career of a veterinarian, helping the pets and animals in need. Although he is working hard to prepare himself for his graduation day and his future of further schooling past high school, his high school career has just started and he himself was confused by the need to know about his favorite memory of his short time in High School, showing that he has a far way to grow into a stronger, smarter and successful athlete and student in the upcoming years.
