CADDO, OK -- This week's A+ Athlete is Jessica Birdsong of Caddo High School.

Jessica is a student athlete who excels on the court, in the classroom, and in the rodeo arena.

Jessica is a multi-sport athlete that also makes headlines in the classroom as well, making both the President’s and Superintendent’s Honor Rolls.

When she is away from her studies, Jessica is a standout for the Bruins, showing what her coach calls great leadership for her teammates during games.

Jessica says she loves being out there during games with her team, but participating in rodeos across the state is also a dream of hers, and with the continued encouragement from her grandfather, she knows she will be able to do both for a long time.

We'll introduce you to another A+ Athlete every Friday here on First News AM. School officials, coaches, teachers, and counselors are encouraged to send in your nominees.
