AARON ELAM


JUNIOR

Aaron was born in Fortuna California. He has lived in Fortuna, Scotia and now resides in Carlotta. He attended Kindergarten in Scotia where he first met his team mates Brad and Tim. He finished out his Elementary years at Cuddeback School in Carlotta where he met team mate Shannon. Aaron has played on the Huskies Freshman and Junior Varsity Teams for the past two years. Back together again, Aaron is proud to be on the Varsity team as a Junior.

Aaron has had many interests. He started playing baseball in kindergarten and basketball in the fourth grade. He was also active in Boyscouts. At the age of 10, Aaron started playing youth football and has enjoyed playing ever since. He received defensive back of the year his freshman year. He was on the school newspaper for years and in the eighth grade he was the Student Government President.

He loves basketball so much. In the eight grade his team worked very hard and won the League Championship. He then learned that practice pays off. Throughout the years Aaron was rewarded with many All Tourney Trophies and once he and team mate Shannon received a $500 scholarship from the Crescent City Jaycees. Aaron wants everyone to know that awards are great but do well in school and play sports because you enjoy it. The reward is within yourself. Keep trying, practice, work hard and never give up.

Aaron takes school seriously. Probably because his parents have always reminded him for the last 13 years that it's his job and we all need to take our jobs seriously. Aaron has always been on the Principal's List and Honor Rolls. At his eighth grade graduation he was awarded the Principal's Award. One of his favorite classes is drafting and hopes to enter that field someday. His future plans are to go to college, working and having a family.

Off the court, Aaron enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, friends, family, going hunting, and shooting hoops with his dad. Aaron would like to thank his family for all their support is whatever he does.
