Rodney Wilkerson, a junior point guard at North County High School, was named the U.S. Army Impact Player of the Month.
Wilkerson was nominated by North County assistant athletic director Shawn Behegan.
“It’s just how he carries himself on and off the court. He’s the same guy on and off the court,” Behegan said. “He’s very approachable by any of his classmates, anybody in his school. He’s well-known, but he’s very humble with that as well. On the court, he’s definitely a leader beyond anybody’s imagination. The basketball team really relied on him solely as motivation, that even in times of disarray he was a calming influence.”
For Wilkerson, being the point guard made leading on and off the court particularly poignant.
