Senior Hackett Hornet, Matthew Anderson signed with Lyon College yesterday in front of family, friends, coaches, and a lively crowd in the Hackett Basketball Gym. All proud, and offering their individual congratulatory screams, yells, and hugs. It was a prideful moment for Anderson, his coaches, those in attendance, and for the Hackett Athletic program
Coach, Lonnie Hester took center stage, explaining Anderson’s work ethic, on and off the field, in his community, and in his school work, “If you want to play ball on Saturday’s, follow what Matthew has done. Prepare, put in the work, and the rewards will follow” stated Hester to the Hornet Crowd.
