Achieving a balance between academics and sports is no easy feat but for the top two PHS grads it has been a way of life for them over the past few years.

For Valedictorian Regan Wilkins, a balancing act has been the name of the game since the senior can be found on a football field when he isn’t studying.

Without a doubt, achieving a 5.21 GPA doesn’t come without sacrifice but for Regan, being competitive inside the classroom is just as important as being competitive on the field.
