Spencer Hannon is a sophomore member of the Jonathan Law JV basketball team.

This year his goal is to improve his game from last season. 

“I’m going to go in to every game knowing we can win, knowing we know what we can do, and practice hard,” Hannon said. 

Hannon is not only confident and hard-working, he always finds something he can improve on. He pushes his team as well as himself. 

Teammates talked very highly about Hannon’s work ethic and leadership.

“I feel Spencer is a great teammate,” teammate Dan Maxwell said. “He will push every single person on the team. He will put in the most effort to get the most of his teammates and because of that it makes people want to be around him more and more.” 

This year, Hannon is going to do the best he can to help his team make the playoffs and states. Hannon said he will take it one day at a time. He is very patient and works hard to achieve his goal.

His coach also believes he is a model player. 

“Spencer is a kid that would pretty much do anything you ask as a coach,” assistant coach Mr. McPartland said. “If I ask Spencer to run through a brick wall he would without asking questions.”

McPartland said that Hannon has the key characteristics that make him a model player. He inspires the upperclassmen as well as the incoming players.  

Teammates have noticed his growth from last year.

“Spencer has become an even better player than he was last year. He will give you everything he has no matter the score or the record of the team,” Maxwell said. “Coming off of last season of him not playing that many games, I look to see him come back this season with even more dedication than he did last year.”
