South Dakota Player with Heart: Jerrad Wallman
Description
Jerrad Wallman was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the court and course. The thing he loves most about high school sports is how it brings people together. The social connections he makes throughout the winter are a fun part of basketball. Whether he is having a winning season or a challenging season, people come together to cheer him and his team on and support them. He has made many good friends that he guards on the court, but once the game is over, they are laughing and talking about things they have in common. Jerrad competes in basketball and golf. In his free time, he participates in 4-H, youth group, and various activities at his church such as running the sound booth, VBS crew leader, and service projects. As part of the National Honor Society, Jerrad has helped with the Salvation Army Food Distribution events. As part of band and choir, he has participated in the Salvation Army Christmas Basket fundraiser to sing and play while raising donations to help support the community. At James Valley, he does an annual clean-a-thon where he helps walk to pick up trash in over 50 miles of ditches. Agriculture is Jerrad’s connection to his family and community. He has been working alongside his father and brother on their farm for as long as he can remember. With his family being involved in agriculture, he has been able to spend time with multiple generations of his family. Every day is different on the farm, and he enjoys the variety of work and challenges it brings. Jerrad plans to attend college and ultimately return to his farm. It's a great place to grow up and he wants to be part of the community that has supported him throughout his life.
