Noelle Fox was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court. What she loves most about high school sports is the friendships and relationships she has built with her teammates. The bond formed through countless hours of practice, long bus rides, and tough games is something truly special. As a senior, Noelle has especially enjoyed mentoring younger players and being a support system for them, whether it’s offering words of encouragement, a quick hug, or even a prayer when they need it. She has also taken pride in being a positive role model for the team managers, making sure they feel just as valued as the players on the court. Beyond the relationships, high school sports have taught her the importance of time management. Balancing late-night games and the demands of College Credit Plus classes has challenged her to stay organized and disciplined. Throughout high school, Noelle has been actively involved in academics, athletics, and leadership opportunities that have shaped her character and work ethic. She has been a member of the basketball and volleyball teams for all four years. Outside of sports, she is involved in FCCLA and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is currently serving as an FFA Officer, helps as a Student Advisor, and has earned her Chapter and Greenhand Degrees. Additionally, she anticipates earning her State FFA Degree in May. She has competed in Dairy Cattle and General Livestock Career Development Events (CDEs). Noelle also participates in her church youth group. This summer, she will also be attending a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Making a positive impact in her community has been a priority for Noelle throughout high school. Through her involvement in service projects such as the Pettisville Recycling Center and Pettisville Community Clean-Up, she has contributed to sustainability efforts and assisted elderly residents with yard maintenance. Volunteering at the Fulton County Fair Pork and Milkshake Stands allowed her to support her local FFA chapter, while her work with Toys for Cheer helped provide meals and gifts to families in need. Noelle has also been committed to improving safety in her school by assisting with the creation and distribution of "Stop the Bleed" emergency kits. Educating younger students at Ag Fest and Farm Machinery Safety Day has been especially rewarding, as she has helped foster a greater understanding of agriculture and farm safety. Agriculture has always held a special place in Noelle's heart, despite not growing up on a farm. Her journey into the field took a surprising turn when she announced she would be working on a pig farm last summer. Being surrounded by squealing piglets and learning to vaccinate, notch ears, trim tails, and maintain clean, safe environments ignited her passion for animal care and the agriculture industry. This hands-on experience revealed how much she could contribute to animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. With her education, leadership, and dedication to the future of farming, she is confident that she will make a meaningful contribution to the agriculture industry. Noelle is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness with a focus on animal production at Huntington University. She is excited to learn more about advancements in animal care and the role of technology in improving farm efficiency. She aims to combine her education and leadership experiences to contribute to her community and foster the growth of sustainable agriculture. Her long-term goal is to own and manage a farm where she can apply the practices she has learned and promote humane animal care.
