| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) Lucas Johnson of the RPLL Rookie Giants is this weeks Athlete of the Week. Lucas had a tremendous week, in one game he had a triple and a home run, which is very tough to do in rookies. He also was very tough in his stint on the mound. In addition to all that, we had the inaugural Pitch, Hit, and Run competition, and Lucas was the winner in his age group! He also won the individual running, and hitting categories and tied for first in the pitching. Lucas will be moving on to the sectional competition June 4 at Helix High School. If he advances from there he can make it to the area finals at Petco and eventually to the national finals at the all-star game in Pittsburgh. His coach, Bill Kvarnstrom, says that Lucas is the ultimate team player. He is always the one getting his teamates cheering for each other. He is always ready to play, and loves the game of baseball! Way to go Lucas! Lucas will win a free T-Shirt from PQ Sports and a sandwich of his choice from the Deli-Stop for being selected Athlete of the week.
