Meet Ashland’s Ultimate Teammates: Averie Smith and Carson Howes
Great teammates do more than help their teams win. They lead by example, encourage others, show good sportsmanship and make the people around them better.
That’s the idea behind Ultimate Teammate Tuesday with Rene Cloukey, a new weekly feature on Channel X Radio presented in cooperation with the Aroostook League. Each Tuesday, the program recognizes a female and male student-athlete nominated by their schools for the qualities that make them outstanding teammates.
Our first honorees come from Ashland District School: Averie Smith and Carson Howes.
Averie Smith: Female Ultimate Teammate
Ashland junior Averie Smith participates in golf and softball and was nominated by Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Jordan Beaulieu for her leadership, sportsmanship and positive influence on her teammates.
In her conversation with Rene Cloukey, Averie explained how sports help her meet new people, make friends and enjoy being part of a team. She’s proud to represent Ashland and excited about what’s ahead in softball and her senior year.
Averie also shared how much it meant when Ashland’s golf team earned a Sportsmanship Award this year. For a small team from a small school, the recognition was especially meaningful.
Congratulations, Averie!
Carson Howes: Male Ultimate Teammate
Carson Howes is Ashland’s male honoree for the inaugural Ultimate Teammate Tuesday recognition.
Carson joins Averie in representing Ashland in a program devoted to teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship and the positive role student-athletes play in their school communities. His selection gives Channel X listeners the chance to celebrate the kind of teammate who makes a difference beyond the scoreboard.
Congratulations, Carson!
Recognizing the Teammates Who Make a Difference
Ultimate Teammate Tuesday isn’t simply about the most points scored or the most games won. It celebrates students who show dedication, respect, encouragement and a team-first attitude.
Join Rene Cloukey every Tuesday on Channel X Radio as we share the stories of deserving student-athletes from across Aroostook County.
