With this week over, PHS has announced it’s new Player of the Week, Devin Lawyer. For his sportmanship and happy go lucky attitude, Devin was the prime selection for this week.

What got Devin into his sport, basketball, was truly the friends he made when he was younger. He would go to one of his friend’s home and play basketball with a few others and that transferred over into school and into his high school years. His favorite part about the sport is playing it with his friends and the teammates he has; in fact, he says that makes the sport easier for him.

After being asked what benefits he believes come from playing sports, he stated that a couple benefits that come from playing sports are being able to stay active and keep in shape, which is a pretty reasonable statement.

Devin stated that if the opportunity arose to play basketball in college, he would, but otherwise he would just leave it as a high school sport and something to do in his free time. Devin thinks everyone should do a sport at least once in their life to open up connections and create friendships. He also states that it could help someone that is struggling at home and offer them a way out.
