Congratulations to all of our Athletes of the Week and thanks to Naples Rib Company for their sponsorship.
HIGH SCHOOL
Joshua “Noodles” Cason, Long Beach Poly Football
Long Beach Poly’s run game was the star of the show in Saturday’s championship win, and junior Devin Samples could easily have won his third Athlete of the Week award. But sophomore Josh “Noodles” Cason had 133 yards rushing and a touchdown, and also led the team’s defense with eight tackles including two for a loss.
Wendell “Wowo” Moe, Long Beach Poly Football
Long Beach Poly’s offensive line was unstoppable in Poly’s big championship win. The Jackrabbits piled up 388 team rushing yards at an average of 6.9 yards per carry. Leading the way was senior star Wendell “Wowo” Moe, who also excelled on the defensive line.
