February’s girl’s Basketball Athlete of the Month is Addison Banse. Banse is the daughter of Jodi and Nathan Banse. She is a senior. Banse has been playing basketball for around ten years, and she found her love for basketball when she was around 8 years old.
Banse loves how everyone has to contribute in basketball. “It’s a total team effort,” Banse said. She loves how not only can your team have success but you can also have your own individual success at the same time. It was very cool to Banse that she was recognized for her hard work and dedication. Banse said, “It [basketball] takes lots of time and practice.” Banse believes that she has been honored as Athlete of the Month due to her hard work paying off and being noticed. Banse said that it is a really cool honor to be Athlete of the Month.
In recognition of her achievements, Big Al’s BBQ has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Adel DeSoto Minburn High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment, attend conferences, and cover our annual website hosting costs.
![Rhyan Miller is the April student of the month. Miller is the daughter of Charity and Rich Miller, and has maintained a 3.925 GPA. Her three favorite classes in high school have been drama as literature, Prostart II, and news journalism. Miller participates in cross country, theater, individual and large group speech, the prostart team, student council, NHS, silver cord, and track. She feels that her experiences in those activities have made her more extroverted, sharing that she is "not afraid of [her] own voice anymore." Miller plans to attend Winona State University to major in psychology and minor in political science. Her advice to others is to "Fake it 'till you make it." She feels she was selected as student of the month due to her increased active presence in the classroom. She is also thankful for the good parking spot. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.](https://blackandredgister.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20260427_104331-600x450.jpg)
