Hinkletown Mennonite School

Ben Myers

8th Grade

Ben Myers is a valuable asset to 8th grade at Hinkletown Mennonite School. From volleyball to soccer to acting, Ben can be found almost anywhere in Hinkletown’s programs. Ben is the son of Eric and Jennifer Myers and goes to New Life Fellowship Church. He loves to play sports, but if he had to pick between his top two, volleyball and soccer, he would pick soccer.

Ben has been playing soccer since kindergarten at his old school, Alliance Christian School. When he came to Hinkletown in 6th grade, he started soccer here. Ben likes to play defense more than any of the other positions in soccer. He says his coach moves him around, but his favorite position to play is defense. He likes to play defense because it does not involve as much running as the other positions.

For high school Ben is planning to continue going to Hinkletown and will continue to play soccer when he goes. Ben’s favorite thing to do in soccer is win while connecting with his teammates and overall having an enjoyable time. He connects with others on the field by directing them on what to do and he also shows good sportsmanship on and off the field. Ben said, “Some good characteristics to have when playing soccer are good sportsmanship and a good attitude even if you win or lose.” Silas, one of Ben’s teammates and friends said, “Ben is a good player for our team because he moves to the ball, meaning he is dedicated to playing soccer.”

To sum it all up, Ben Myers has a memorable history at Hinkletown Mennonite School. Hopefully Ben continues to play soccer in high school and follows what God has planned for him.
