VES focus for the week: be respectful, include others. Way to go, Badgers!

Nathan Flannery, Senior, Basketball
Nate tied a school record with 21 Rebounds in a game against Hemingford. For a player who is only 6'0 tall that's very impressive. He does a lot of work before the ball hits the rim to put himself in position to get the rebound.
