Wendell Powell, senior forward at Matanzas High School, was recognized as the Flagler County School District’s Athlete of the Month for January by the Rotary Club of Flagler County.

Pirates’ coach Tony Zaksewicz said Powell is a great kid on and off the court, and one of the nicest, well-mannered young men he has coached.

“(The team) looks up to Wendell and follows him,” Zaksewicz.

Powell’s grade-point average is 3.9, and he said there are several universities he’s interested in attending, some located in Florida and others out of state, to play basketball.
