Canfield record-breaker named Student Athlete of the Week
CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – The day-to-day life of a high school student athlete can take on many different forms. For Canfield senior Drew Shapiro, he finds his own way to make it all happen. 'Definitely some late nights after practice and games, just staying up, doing as much as I can,' Shapiro said. Most notably, Shapiro served as starting point guard on a Cardinals basketball team that won back-to-back Division IV District Championships, while setting the school record for most career assists as well as the previous record of 316. 'The whole team, it's something that we always look back on, just the best years of our lives and the most important sports of our lives,' Shapiro said. But there's so much more than that, four years of varsity tennis make seven total varsity letters. Then in the classroom, Shapiro also keeps up a 3.85 grade point average while juggling it all day-to-day. 'Since I was a younger guy once, for all of them to be able to look up to me and see that I can maintain good grades while being able to play varsity sports and just trying to be the best role model I can for all of them,' Shapiro said. He's done that each year in high school, also as a member of the National Honor Society and the Teen Medical and Health Society, showing the next generation what it takes to be a model Canfield Cardinal. 'I mean, there's nowhere else I would have rather have my journey, but it's definitely special when it's a hometown thing and you're not transferring or that type of thing,' Shapiro said. Now, as he graduates and heads to study accounting at Miami of Ohio, he'll be taking that work ethic and hometown pride with him. 'It's been Canfield my whole life and just being able to do in front of the whole community and watching as a little kid, seeing what I what I could be one day and just like working as hard as I could as like a young kid just to get there one day and it's just really cool to see where it all goes,' Shapiro said.
