Swanville High School is pleased to announce its February Athletes of the Month. Tren Dinius, son of Janal and Allen Kruzel, is the Boys’ Basketball Athlete of the Month, and Nikki Primus, daughter of Kristin and Bill Primus, is the Girls’ Basketball Athlete of the Month.
Coaches’ Comments: “Tren Dinius is second on the team in scoring averaging 10.8 points per game and is first on the team in steals averaging 2.4 steals per game. Tren also leads us in 3 point shooting percentage with 34%. He ended the regular season by scoring 35 points against St. John’s Prep. Tren has a motor that doesn’t stop. He has a nose for the basketball and works so hard on defense. He leads the team in steals and hustle. He is fun to coach and the best thing is he comes to practice every day and practices just like he plays the game.” – Coach Steve Miller.
“Nikki Primus is my selection for the February Athlete of the Month. Nikki is a sophomore post player who really stepped up her game the last half of the season. She was asked to do a lot for us this year, including playing a half of JV as well as be the first person off the bench for varsity. When we had a couple of girls go down with injuries, Nikki really elevated her play, jumping into the starting line-up. I am really excited about the future for Nikki. Congratulations Nikki and keep up the hard work!” – Coach Aaron Gapinski.
