Athlete of the week
After a monster weekend, this freshman starter earned the athlete of the week cred. She stepped up both her offensive
and defensive games to help the Lady Trojans secure their first League Tournament title since 2013. She made the
game-winning And 1 to push her team to the top. Way to go, Gator Netherton!
Josiah Martinez. He has been a hard worker all year and the growth has really shown. He didn't play a lot this past
weekend, however the work ethic in practice and the impact he made in the minutes he did play was great. Keep it up.
