Each month our athletic department selects two athletes who exemplify Raider PRIDE throughout their season. MASD believes athletics is an extension of the total educational development process and is pleased to recognize accomplishments of our students in and out the classroom.
Visit the MASD Athletics page for the most recent athletic announcements including honors for fall athletes.
December
Emma Cleland
Junior Emma Cleland is a pivotal part of the Lady Raiders basketball team's success. She has been a three-year varsity starter and captain and has been the team's floor general. She leads the team in assists, and was named to the 2024 tip-off tournament all-star team. Coach LaSonda Dixon said Emma’s leadership skills continue to grow and her selflessness on the court continues to not only lead to her own success, but also her teammates. Coach Dixon added every year they continue to see Emma grow as a teammate, player, leader, and friend, and she has a very bright future ahead of her and they are very proud of her!
Off the court Emma excels in the classroom taking AP courses, receiving honors, and being part of the National Honor Society and Keystone Club.
