| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) This week Mike Nelson of the Freshman Westview Wolverines is our Athlete of the Week. Mike is a running back and linebacker for the freshman Wolverine team. He had 120 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the offensive side, and 8 tackles with several assists on the defensive side. The Wolverines used a great defensive stop late in the game, parlayed with a final offensive drive to nip cross-town rival Mt. Carmel 23-18 last Thursday at Westview. Tyler Barclay and Kyle Wadstrom were also outstanding in the game, with each of them making several key receptions throughout. That makes two straight wins for the team, and their future looks bright. Freshman Head Coach Kurt Debniak says that "It was a great team effort in the end. Our defense needed a stop or Mt. Carmel could have ran out the clock. We got the ball back and drove the length of the field for the winning score." Mike is a great teammate, and is eager to give credit to others. When asked about his stellar play, he just "Wanted to thank the offensive line for opening the holes, and the defense for the big stop at the end of the game giving us a chance to win." The Freshman Wolverines continue their season this Thursday at Valley Center. Go get 'em Wolverines! Mike receives a PQSports t-shirt and a sandwich at the Deli-Stop in Rancho Penasquitos for earning athlete of the week honors.
