QUICKER THAN A CAT, BLACKFOOT'S ALFONSO HERNANDEZ DIVES AT HIS OPPONENT, AND USUALLY HE IS ON HIS WAY TO ANOTHER WIN..... HERNANDEZ HAS HAD 91 WINS IN HIS HIGH SCHOOL CAREER, INCLUDING LAST WEEKEND'S TIGER-GRIZZ CHAMPIONSHIP AT 215 POUNDS....
HERNANDEZ, WHO WRESTLED AT 189 POUNDS LAST YEAR, IS THE DEFENDING STATE CHAMPION....
BUT ALFONSO HERNANDEZ IS MUCH MORE THAN A WRESTLER.... HE IS A LEADER IN THE BINGHAM COUNTY HISPANIC COMMUNITY, OFTEN MENTORING YOUNG BOYS AND COACHING THEM TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN POSSIBLY BE.... HE ALSO CARRIES A 3.8 GRADE POINT AVERAGE, AND STRESSES EDUCATION EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS.....

ALFONSO HERNANDEZ..... A WINNER IN ALL PHASES OF HIS LIFE, IS OUR KIDK STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK..... NOW, IT'S OFF TO COLLEGE, WHERE HE'S ALREADY BEING RECRUITED BY TOP WRESTLING PROGRAMS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.......
