Here’s the WMOI/WRAM Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 8th, 2026:
The Monmouth-Roseville Titan Athlete of the Week is boys basketball junior Lars Bergren and senior Nick Huston. Both young men earned enough respect of TRAC West Division coaches to be placed on the All-Conference 2nd team. Lars led the Titans in scoring at 12.2 points a game. Nick led the Titans in rebounding with 7 and was 2nd on the team in assists with 3.5 per game.

The Galesburg Silver Streak Athlete of the Week is sophomore boys basketball player, Cesaire Bile. Cesaire was one of three Silver Streaks to be voted onto the Western Big Six Conference’s All-Conference. His 11 points, 3.5 rebounds and 34% shooting from 3-point range in conference games was more than enough to placed on the Honorable Mention list.

Lucas joined teammates and former Athlete of the Week Award winners, Ryker Darst, Tre Kenon, Alex Foutch and Ayden Stromson on the Lincoln Trail Conference’s All-Conference Team.
