Liberty basketball players Christian Brinser and Sami Wynne were honored by the NAIA Friday night at the national basketball tournament in Municipal Auditorium. They were the representatives of LHS for the NAIA's Champions of Character program.
The NAIA Champions of Character program has established five core values that go well beyond the playing field to the daily decisions of our youth. These character values help young people — and those associated with their development — make good choices in all aspects of their life and reflect the true spirit of competition. The five core values of the program are Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, and Servant Leadership. Both Christian and Sami exemplify these core values perfectly.
"The Champions of Character was a really cool experience to be a part of. I was honored to be nominated by my coaches and I couldn't have done it without my teammates. I want to thank my parents for laying down a solid foundation for how I live my life," stated Brinser.
"Christian is a well deserving recipient of this honor. He is a terrific young man, with an excellent head on his shoulders. He'll have a great educational and athletic career at Missouri and a very bright future after that. He represented himself, his family, his team, his school, and his community like a champion. Our program is extremely proud of him, " remarked Coach Stirtz.
