TYLER BOLDON EARNS SPOT ON ACADEMIC ALL OHIO

/in /by

LOUISVILLE OH- Many times we are recognizing the wonderful athletes for their hard work and accomplishments in the arena. It’s sometimes east to forget the work that they put in in the classroom while they’re giving us all a great show. The kids we highlight are after all students first, athletes second.

No one understands this concept more than senior leader of Louisville Tyler Boldon. Not only does Boldon lead by example with work he puts in on the court, but he also shows everyone what it means to be a true scholar athlete. His dedication to his studies is second to none, and definitely something to be admired. Tyler has been recognized for all his hard work throughout his four years of high school. His 4.21 GPA was good enough to land a spot on the Acadenic All Ohio team in division 1. Only seven players made the list, so this is truly a big honor for Boldon.

We want to congratulate Tyler on all his accomplishments throughout his high school career. It has been a pleasure to cover him. We know he’ll do fantastic things in his future endeavors.
