Sy spoed, jakkalsdraaie en uitstekende vermo\u00eb om \u2018n geleentheid te sien om met die rugbybal in die hand deur sy opponente se verdediging te glip, is van die eienskappe wat bygedra het dat Zinidene Whitebooi van Bergsig Skool op Kariega vanjaar aangewys is as Ruggas SA se beste LSEN-rugbyspeler in die land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was vanjaar die sesde agtereen- volgende jaar dat Ruggas SA aan top rugbyspelers en -afrigters van skolerugby erkenning gegee het. Nominasies is ingestuur en \u2018n rekordgetal van 73 105 stemme is ingestuur om die top spelers in die onderskeie kategorie\u00eb te bepaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Ruggas SA kategorie vir LSEN-skole se rugbyspeler van die jaar, was Zinidene en Manqoba Kubeka van Elandspark kop-aan-kop met nog \u2018n rekordgetal van 10 000 stemme. Zinidene is uiteindelik, nadat \u2018n paneel na beeldmateriaal van die twee spelers op die veld gekyk het, as die mees verdienstelike van di\u00e9 gesogte toekenning aangewys en is by \u2018n spoggeleentheid op Stellenbosch hiermee vereer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat Zinidene se toekenning so uniek maak, is dat hy die eerste o.17-speler in Ruggas se ses jaar van di\u00e9 toekenning is. Dit was nog altyd \u2018n o.18-speler wat aangewys is as speler van die jaar,\u201d s\u00ea JD Esterhuizen, afrigter van Bergsig se eerste rugbyspan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZinidene is \u2018n slim, kalm speler met \u2018n hart vir rugby. Hy het die X-faktor en visie in hom, en hy sien \u2018n kans voor hy dit benut. In die agterlyn is hy \u2018n leier en kan uit niks \u2018n geleentheid skep om punte aan te teken. Hy is \u2018n briljante spanspeler en kan delegeer, \u2018n regte play maker <\/span>soos ons dit noem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esterhuizen se afrigter-pad het met di\u00e9 van Zinidene gekruis toe hy as o.12-speler van die Uitenhage Subunie-span met sy talent gewys het hoe om vir groot opwinding op die rugyveld te sorg. Zinidene het in sy o.12-jaar ook vir OP op die veld gedraf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeandr\u00e9 Schoultz, mede-afrigter van Bergsig se eerste rugbyspan s\u00ea \u201cZinidene werk hard op die veld, hou van fisieke uitdagings, en het nie \u2018n bang haar op sy kop nie. Maak nie saak hoe groot \u2018n teenstan-der is nie, Zinidene sien altyd \u2018n oop pad doellyn toe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Zinidene s\u00ea sy liefde vir rugby het afgeskop in die dae toe hy straatrugby en later Bulletjierugby gespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het \u2018n gevoel vir rugby. Ek raak nie op my senuwees nie, ek fokus op die spel en as die bal kom, vat ek die grootste gat wat oop is tussen die senter en vleuel of binne en buite senters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk hou van hoe Cheslin Kolbe speel. Hy is \u2018n fikse man en kan alles doen. Dit is hoe ek ook wil rugby speel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oor die toekenning as Ruggas LSEN Rugbyspeler van die jaar s\u00ea Zinidene \u201cdit is vir my lekker om my skool trots te maak.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Zinidene is vanjaar by Bergsig aangewys as die Agterspeler van die jaar. Ander hoogtepunte sluit in: OP o.12; Uitenhage Subunie o.12 & o.13; Brandwag o.14A & o.15A; Bergsig o.16A (kaptein) en OP o.16 LSEN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bergsig se skoolhoof, Rudi Jonker, s\u00ea hy is trots en opgewonde oor Zinidene en dat sy prestasie \u2018n voorbeeld is van wat by di\u00e9 LSEN-skool bereik kan word. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zinidene Whitebooi van
