fighting sue Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think we're all familiar with Dressler's on-the-field accomplishments, but can anyone here speak intelligently about his academic success or his community leadership? These sorts of things aren't really discussed on the Herald's sports page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxDini Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I believe he was valedictorian at BHS, if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big10Sioux Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've seen he has something like a 3.9 in management and seems to volunteer for everything the team does in the community. A real class act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting sue Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've seen he has something like a 3.9 in management and seems to volunteer for everything the team does in the community. A real class act. I guess I would think that an award of this prestige goes to individuals whose accomplishments go above and beyond the norm. If an athlete participates in team volunteerism, even if it's almost all of the activities, is that really beyond the norm? The website for the Draddy isn't terribly descriptive regarding the "community leadership" qualification. I'm wondering how this is or should be interpreted. Do high-achieving, scholarship athletes even have time to be community leaders? Their schedules are crazy enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
