Apache Nation Athletics Male Student-Athlete of the Week 💙💛
Congratulations to Alchesay senior Edgar Adams, our Male Student-Athlete of the Week for Sept. 21–26!
Edgar wears No. 2 for the Falcons and contributes on both sides of the ball as a starting middle linebacker and running back. He has played football since his freshman year and has continued to grow into an important two-way player for Alchesay.
Through the first four games of the season, Edgar has recorded 31 tackles and 230 rushing yards.
Apache Nation Athletics reached out to Falcons Head Coach Brent Lupe for his thoughts on this week’s selection.
Coach Lupe shared that Edgar has shown great leadership all season and that the hard work he put in over the summer is definitely showing in his game.
For Edgar’s family, however, his accomplishments go beyond football.
His mom shared that they are especially proud of the way Edgar prioritizes being a student before an athlete. He continues to maintain good grades while balancing the responsibilities of school and football, showing maturity and dedication both in the classroom and on the field.
His family also shared the importance of Edgar always putting God first.
Congratulations, Edgar! Keep working hard, leading by example, and representing Alchesay High School and the White Mountain Apache community with pride. 🏈🏆
