The Kent Reporter Athletes of the Week for Oct. 17 are from Kentwood High School; Chance Savini (Jr.) football and Diya Thomas (Sr.) soccer.
What do you value in your sport or about your team?
Savini: One thing I value about football is it helps others get out of their shell and become a family. The team became my family when I stepped on the football field.
Thomas: I value hard work, the ability to take feedback and grow from the feedback.
What have you learned from your sport that you can take with you throughout your life/future?
Savini: The best teacher in life is your own experience. Never take these moments for granted. Time is always ticking.
Thomas: I have learned that no matter how good the opposition is, a group that works together can win on any given day.
