The INEX series’ first Native American and Jewish race car driver, Thomas Poretsky is entering fifth grade. He loves his friends, his family, his pets (Snorlax the dog and Ginger and Marshmallow the cats), and playing Pokemon competitively. And, yes, he really loves driving fast!
He started out in Quarter Midget racing in the summer of 2022. Once the season ended, he spent that winter racing go-karts at ProKart Indoor Racing in Burnsville. Starting in the back of the pack, he worked his way up through the Kid’s League during the Winter/Spring season of 2022-23 for a strong finish on the podium in third place.
azwarriorshoops Elmer Emerson is a beast.
When he first came to the Warriors he had an immediate impact. He is not afraid of anyone, especially that's bigger than him. In his first year at NABI (Native American Basketball Invitational), he showed a preview of the type of player he is going to be. Strong, aggressive and ready to stop anyone he chooses to guard.
He will be helping Jason and Cibola High School win a region championship.
