On a Millbrook Basketball team loaded with talent it takes a special player to stand out, Jordan Sugars is just that player, mixing a quiet, demeanor with explosive athleticism. "He's a leader by example, not a big rah rah guy" says coach Scott Mankins. "He's a true role model for the younger kids in the program and the younger kids in the community."

A member of the national honors society with a 3.7 GPA, Jordan obviously takes care of business in the classroom. But what drives him to get his work done on and off the court? Who else but mom and dad. "I have no choice basically" admits Sugars. "My parents make sure I get A's and B's or else I won't be playing basketball... that's enough motivation right there."

Jordan will continue his hoops career at the next level. But he didn't choose just any old college. Sugars will enroll at the US Naval Academy next fall, where he's hoping to set himself up for more than just basketball. "If you go there you have a promising future" notes Sugars "That's what I'm most focused about, setting myself up for life."

Congratulations to Jordan Sugars of Millbrook High School... TV3 Winchester's Student Athlete of the Week.
