This week’s honoree is senior Peyton Koopman, a member of the varsity baseball team who pitched a five-inning perfect game April 25 in a 10-0 victory over Virgin Valley High School. Koopman struck out 12 of 15 batters and was 3-for-4 with a triple, double and three RBIs. On April 27 against Southeast Career Technical Academy, he had a single and a double in the Eagles’ 3-1 victory. Koopman also plays outfield, as well as football and basketball. He is the son of Jodee and Doug Koopman.
