Zack Tiracorda has been selected as the Warrior Watch’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week of 02/07/21. Zack is just a junior, but this season he has been putting in valuable minutes for the boys basketball team. He has been a key in the Warrior’s recent wins, as he put up many points and was able to collect numerous rebounds in every game. Head Coach Danny Clark agreed that Zack has been vital this season and said, “Zack has really been the main part of our team’s success this season. When he plays the way he can the team is very successful and will win most games.” With playoffs coming up soon, Zack will definitely be looking to add to his stats and help the program go as far into the playoffs as possible.
