One simple act—carrying an injured opponent off the court—turned a Lyons basketball player into a standout far beyond the game, according to The Times of Wayne County.
Stavell LeBrecht earned multiple honors, including a Section V Sportsmanship Award and the prestigious Rizzo Award, after showing compassion during a varsity game. Coaches and teammates say his leadership and respect define the team’s culture.
A captain and honor student, LeBrecht also mentors younger kids and volunteers in the community. His impact helped fuel Lyons’ championship run, proving character—not stats—can leave the biggest mark.
