MHS senior finds motivation through faith and family
Finding herself through faith on and off the field, Senior Hannah Wade finds her strength through her love of God and the enjoyment of sports.
Wade is involved in varsity basketball and Fellowship of Christian Athletes and softball where she had the opportunity to play in the softball district tournament.
As a member of FCA, she also aspires to be a great leader to her teammates and in her spiritual life as well.
Sophomore Mia Meshell, who has played softball and basketball with Wade, has spent much time with her and knows the characteristics she embodies.
“Hannah is a great leader who impacts our team.” Meshell said. “She strives to not only make us better basketball players, but makes us remember who we are playing for.”
Wade says that her greatest moment this year was winning the district tournament in softball.
“We worked very hard this year and it was a very rewarding thing to experience in the end.”
Wade also gains much of her support from her family, including her five sisters.
One of those five sisters is sophomore, Lauren Wade, who views Hannah as one of her biggest role models.
“I think Hannah is a very strong and spiritual leader and despite how much we fight, I still look up to her very much.” Lauren said.
Wade adds that she could not do the things she does without the strong support system that she has from her team and her coaches.
Wade is also a very religious person who finds inspiration through her MHS assistant softball coach, Kathy Wilson.
“Coach Wilson is a godly leader who helps everyone on and off the field, and she has made my faith grow bigger.” Wade said.
Another person who can vouch for Wade’s sportsmanship is Terri Reimer, the MHS girls’ basketball coach.
“Hannah is the foundation of the team culture that we have built over the last three years.” Reimer said. “She is a hard worker, competitive, and a good teammate.”
Although Wade is indecisive about what college she wishes to attend after high school, she states that she wants to get a scholarship for basketball and later come back and coach for Marlow.
