Beginning with the 2013 season the NGYFA has inked a deal with BSN Sports (www.bsnsports.com) to recognize one nominated athlete per week for the NGYFA Scholar Athlete of the Week presented by BSN Sports.
The Scholar Athlete for week 9 of the NGYFA season is 10 year old Chestatee running back and linebacker Christian Charles.
Christian, known for his blazing speed on the gridiron, is an excellent all around team player no matter what position he is placed in. "Christian is easily coached and very respectful," say his coaches. "He always gives 100%." Christian doesn't just give his all on the football field but is also a standout basketball player.
His 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Dawson, has nothing but positive things to say about Christian. "He is extremely polite, honest and caring about others," says Mrs. Dawson. "He has a great work ethic and a real responsibility for his actions." His goal is to attend a college with great academics and has earned honor roll by making straight A's each quarter.
"This young man is a joy to be around on the field, at school and also in his Church Youth group," said Jr. War Eagle President Donald Chambers.
