ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Girls
Dana Garcia, Sr., La Mirada
Softball
The slugging catcher continued her torrid pace last week. In three games, in which the Matadors went two, she went 6-for-9, walked five times, scored six runs, knocked in four runs and hit three more homers.

Boys
Tommy Nance, Sr., Wilson
Baseball
The right-hander, in just his third start this season after rehabbing back from a stress fracture in his spine, threw a three-hit shutout against Lakewood to help vault the Bruins into second place in the Moore League.
