Marshfield (OnFocus) – With fall sports winding down and winter sports just on the doorstep, we’ve reached a slower moment in high school sports. With that, we bring to you our combined Athlete of the Week / Team of the Week.
Check out some of the top performers for this past week, and be sure to vote for the top performer!
Athlete of the Week Nominees, Week of November 15 – November 21
- Edgar Football Defense – The undefeated Wildcats have tormented opponents all season long, scoring 398 points in their 9 wins. It’s worth celebrating Edgar’s defense, too, as Edgar has surrendered just 41 points all year. Edgar had three shutouts this year, and the defense has mostly singular touchdowns in six of their 9 games.
- Nekoosa Football – The Papermakers started out on fire in their Level 2 win over Prairie du Chien, but then fell behind 28-14 early in the third quarter. Unfazed, the Papermakers reeled off 26 unanswered points to pick up a season-ending 40-28 win.
- Abbotsford Football – The Falcons have had an abbreviated season, with their season derailed by quarantine concerns to start the season coupled with key injuries. Abbotsford ended the season on a high note, however, picking up a sound 27-7 decision over Thorp.
- Tristan Shelvan, Amherst Football – Shelvan has had a memorable season, and to cap off his high school career, the senior quarterback had a game to remember in Amherst’s 48-14 shellacking of Brillion. Shelvan began the game with a kickoff return for a touchdown, ran for three scores, then passed for three more. Shelvan was 20 of 25 for 178 yards through the air and rushed 18 times for 126 yards, proving once again why he is a finalist for the WSN Top Senior Quarterback Award.
- Stratford Football – The Tigers finished the season with two weeks of solid football. In Level 1, Stratford shut out Neillsville/Granton 38-0, and on Thursday evening, they edged Wittenberg-Birnamwood 28-27.
Voting ends Wednesday at 5:00 pm
