Both teams have their stars, and their "clutch" players, but even so, everyone on the respec- tive teams have been significant in their rides into dis- trict play. Players ranging freshmen to seniors need to do their job in order for their team to succeed. And, this sea- son in particular, the HAHS athletes have done just that. Bobby Planutis is one of the many stars of HA boys' basketball. He averages near 20 points per game and leads the team in many other stat categories. Bobby Planutis has proven key in the success of the Cougar boys. On the court, however, it isn’t just his show. Play- ers such as Dante Biasi, Michael “Jelly” Cusatis, Josh Samec, Jeff “Gator” Planutis, Jacob Diaz, and freshman Damir Faison also have shown to do more than the job they need to. The boys' team is like a well-oiled machine. Blowing teams out by 20 points a game is more than enough proof that Cougar boys come ready to play.

I F encourage those who have not yet engaged, please do so as soon as possible. You will find that working to help young men through mentorship and helping fathers to be better prepared to be involved in the lives of their children is truly rewarding. You cannot come out of the experience without being affected and touched. Tell our Story - Brothers, there is nothing like getting the word out. I know how modest we can be about the great things that we do. In the Fatherhood and Mentoring area, we have “… we have conducted outstanding programs that are allowed others to significantly impacting our communities. We have received positive feedback and tell our story ...” numerous thank you notes from mothers and fathers expressing sincere appreciation for the work that we are doing. However, we have not been good at telling our own story. I have visited some outstanding programs that are working with fathers and young men in the mentoring area that have never been publicized. The only people that were aware of the activity were the brothers in the chapter and the participants in the program. On occasions I will find out about a program by someone mentioning it in a casual conversation.
