Here’s the WMOI/WRAM Athletes of the Week for the week ending Jan. 12th, 2020:

The Monmouth-Roseville Titan Athlete of the Week is junior boys basketball player, Jack Thompson. Jack scored 13 points in a win over local rival Macomb High School. He scored ten of those points in the decisive 4th quarter as his team pulled away. Maybe even more importantly, Jack was 5-for-5 from the free throw line in the final period as well.

The United Red Storm Athlete of the Week is junior boys basketball player, Jackson Bergren. Jackson had a big hand in the Red Storm’s non-conference win over North Fulton. He scored 17 points, 14 of which came in one quarter. Jackson was hot from beyond the 3-point arc as well, making five total 3-pointers.

The West Central Heat Athlete of the Week. This week the spotlight shines on senior girls basketball player, Carley Lafary. Carley totaled 53 points in two wins last week. She poured in 27 points in a victory over Bushnell-Prairie City. Carley nearly equaled that total two nights later with 26 points in a Lincoln Trail Conference win over Galva.

The Abingdon-Avon Tornado Athlete of the Week is junior boys basketball player, Kaden Jones. Kaden has led the Tornadoes in scoring since the calendar turned to 2020. A big chunk of his 15 point average has come from behind the 3-point arc. Kaden made a total of eight, three-pointers in wins over West Central and Stark County.

The Galesburg Silver Streak Athlete of the Week is junior boys basketball player, Kyleb Meadows. Kyleb has been steady all season long for the red-hot Silver Streaks but he exploded for a season-high 23 points in an important Western Big Six Conference win over Geneseo. He got his ball club off to a great start….and great finish…with 14 of those points coming in the 1st and 4th quarter.

Congrats to all of these student-athletes!! Thanks to our AOTW sponsors, MC Sport and More, McDonough Telephone Cooperative (mdtc), Tompkins State Bank and Kehoe Eye Care!!
