Apr. 18—The Cullman County Board of Education recognized West Point Middle School student, Olen Freeman, for his Hoop Shoot performance.

Freeman was honored by the board during its monthly meeting on Thursday, for his performance in the County, District and State Hoop Shoot contests. During the state level competition Freeman successfully made 22 of his 25 free-throw attempts to earn the top spot and would continue to perform well at the regional level, where he would place 2nd.

To recognize this achievement, CCBOE Superintendent Shane Barnette presented Freeman with the district's E5 Excellence Award and pin. The award is typically limited to CCBOE employees who have been nominated by their coworkers, but Barnette told Freeman he felt as though his achievement was worthy of the exception saying "I think what you've done is pretty exceptional."
