Hannah Cutting is one of the most coachable young ladies that Lake Region varsity girls’ basketball coach Paul True has ever coached.

“Hannah has a tremendous work ethic, great attitude, and always puts her team first,” Coach True said of his senior starting forward. “One of the best qualities that Hannah possesses is her ability to make all of her teammates feel like they are a big part of the team.”

Coach True added, “Hannah has a welcoming way about her which makes her a fantastic leader and has earned her the girls’ basketball player of the week honors.”

In recognition of her strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Hannah is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing. Recipients receive a specially-designed t-shirt, sponsored by Hancock Lumber, and a $25 gift certificate to Salon at 616 in Casco.
