DENE LAMBKIN HONDA/HYUNDAI STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK:

ALEX THRASHER, North Shelby Basketball, Football, Baseball, Academic Team

GPA: 4.0       College Choice: Truman State     Major: Business Management

Every week in this segment, we honor the best and brightest scholar athletes in the Tri States....and often they are to the point of being household names from powerhouse programs.

There are however, plenty of great kids out there who live their lives the right ways, excel on in the classroom, and work their tails off in their sport of choice, who never get within sniffing distance of a state playoff or championship moment.

Tonight's Student Athlete of the Week is a kid who might be a superstar within any other program; but whose senior year win percentage, split between three sports might be the lowest of any kid we've ever honored...

But no one who has met Alex Thrasher would ever question that he is anything but a winner of the highest order.
