From the sidelines: TBHS senior Ismail Ismail deserves to be Athlete of the Week because he is a great teammate. Ismail has started games for the Titans this year, he has come off the bench and there have been games that he didn’t play significant minutes in. But as a teammate, Ismail brings it every single day in practice and on game night. Ismail does whatever he is asked to do, and finds a way to contribute to our team in a positive way every day. Good basketball teams always have good basketball players, but if you want to be great, you have to have great teammates — and that is what Ismail Ismail is to Todd Beamer basketball.
