One Tough Player
"TEAM LEADER "
Head Coach Craig Thompson has this to say about his star linebacker, "Jordan is the type of young man that makes a coach's job easy. He is one of our true sophomore leaders who always displays a positive, team first attitude. Jordan has one the best work ethics I have ever seen in a young man. He excels in the classroom and gives 100% during every practice. He also did not miss any of our off season workouts! Because of these qualities Jordan has my total respect as a person and as an athlete."
Knight fans are also glad that Jordan has those outstanding traits!

"TRACK AND FOOTBALL "
Coach Giachetti knew that Willie Johnson would be one of the fastest sprinters in the GVC for 2006. What he didn't know was how tough a competitor he is. In his first event of the day at the GVC meet, the long jump, Willie strained a hamstring. All Willie did after that was win four events and help the Knight men end a five year drought in winning the 2006 GVC track championship. Willie took firsts in the long jump, 100 meters, 200 meters and anchor the 4 x 100 relay. "Willie is a very talented athlete," says Head Track Coach Pete Giachetti. "He has the rare combination of speed, strength and toughness. The way he performed with that strained hamstring at the GVC meet was unbelievable!"

"TALENTED PLAYER AND TEAM LEADER"
It was expected that sophomore Lady Knight Caelen Graey would
have a great 2005-06 season, and she has delivered. After a good start to the season an ankle injury set her back but as of late Caelen has
reached her stride. "Right now Caelen is the best wing player in
the GVC. She also is the best defensive perimeter player that I
have coached here at Shasta College, and that is saying something.
She is the complete player, and when her shot is falling she is
tough to stop. She is the complete package!"
In a recent big win over GVC undefeated Lassen College
Caelen burned the nets for a game high 25 points!
(webmaster note: Calen was also named to the 2005-06

"INTENSE PLAYER, GREAT SHOOTER"
One reason the Knights men's basketball team will end up
as Golden Valley Conference Champions is because of the play of
sophomore guard Jon Baird. "Jon has been a bright spot for the Knights the past two seasons," says Head Coach Kele Fitzhugh. "He is a
great shooter and is also a team player. This season he has been
our most consistent player, both offensively and defensively. Jon
is also a great practice player, he practices as hard as he plays in
games. There is definitely a direct correlation between his work
ethic and his success on the court. Jon will be heavily recruited
this off season."

"PLEASANT SURPRISE "
One of the nicest surprises that Head Coach Jerry Brown has had this basketball season was when freshman Katie Wilson decided to try the hardwood once again. Katie was a star performer for the Knight volleyball and track teams the past two seasons but had not played basketball since her days at Maxwell High School. "It did not take Katie long to show that she has some skills on the basketball court," said Head Coach Jerry Brown. "She gets better everyday. I have so much respect for Katie as a player and as a person. I feel that she is the best center in the GVC. She is also mentally a very tough player. She is playing with a stress fracture in her foot, something that most kids could not or would not do. She is making a big sacrifice for the team and we would not be were we
are without her." Katie has had 5 double/doubles this season. Recently in a big win against COS Katie had a game high 27 points!
(webmaster note: Katie was also named to the
2005-06 All GVC basketball team.)
