Ethan Weinman, Millikan Boys’ Soccer
The senior makes it back-to-back weeks as an Athlete of the Week thanks to another goal that proved to be the difference in a close Moore League boys’ soccer match. This time, Weinman’s goal came in the 8th minute of Millikan’s matchup against Wilson and was the game-winner in a 2-0 win.
Zoie & Kai Fontenot, Wilson Girls’ Soccer
It was a special senior night for the Fontenot twins last week, who combined for 10 shots in a productive performance against Long Beach Poly. Both of the twins found the net as they scored Wilson’s only two goals in a 2-0 win.
Reece Haga, Wilson Girls’ Water Polo
The senior helped her team win yet another undeafeated Moore League championship, matching the game-high with four goals in Wilson’s 24-13 win over Millikan. The win marks Wilson’s ninth consective Moore League title.
Alek Carrera, Long Beach Poly Boys’ Wrestling
The senior won his match against Wilson via pin last week to help the Jackrabbits defeat the Bruins and complete an undefeated season. The Moore League boys’ championship marks the program’s first since 1989.
