Being able to witness this is breath-taking!” E ig h th -grad er D alton Herkshan was selected by his coaches this year as the first Native American team captain. Before each game, he and three others are responsible for the coin toss as well as any penalties while he is on the field. That’s a big responsibility in itself. But as an Honor Student at Je ffe rso n C ounty M iddle School, Dalton knows the im portance of the balance between grades and football. “My friends all play sports,” he q u ietly says. “A ustin R aschenburg, H ow ard Bell- Dalton Herkshan Raines are a couple of guys that like to play. You have to get good grades, practice hard, and know how to have fun from the be ginning to the end of the game.” B esides fo o tb all, D alton loves social studies with Mr. Claus. “He knows grades are the most important thing,” Danni said. “We taught him early on that without good grades, he can’t play sports.” It has been a struggle for Dalton, but it was a challenge that he gladly accepted. “When he brought his last report card home, words can’t describe what I felt,” Danni said. “Now I know he can do it.” “Hard work pays off,” Leevi Herkshan said. “I’m proud my son is able to work hard and earn his spot.” In ten years, Dalton sees him self in college, although at the time he isn’t sure what studies he would like to pursue. Dalton’s determination and drive is an inspiration to many of his friends. “Kids don’t care if they win or lose,” he says with a grin. “As long as we give it 100 percent!” — by Duran Bobb Boxers travel to Old Camp Casino in Burns The Warm Springs Boxing Club in October traveled to the Old Camp Casino of the Burns Paiute Reservation.
