ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Girls
Victoria Dubrowskij, Jr., Lakewood
Dubrowskij placed first in the vault, balance beam, uneven bars and the floor exercise for a combined score of 37.5 and won the all-around title at the Moore League gymnastics finals last week.

Boys
Chase DeJong, Fr., Valley Christian
The freshman right-hander threw a no-hitter with a season-high 15 strikeouts in a 7-0 victory over LA Baptist on Friday. He missed out a perfect game by walking three and hitting another.


Here are a couple of other nominations that were sent in by our readers:

*Freshman Andrew Morgan
Varsity Golf Long Beach Wilson
In his freshman year on the varsity team, he continued his steady play as he shot the team low round of 69 on Tuesday against Lakewood, then a score of 1 over against Millikan on Thursday to help the Bruins win the Moore League title with an undefeated record of (12-0).

*I would like to nominate the Mayfair High School Girls Varsity Track and Field Team as Athlete of the Week as they beat Bellflower High School today (4/30) to win their 7th consecutive Suburban League Championship. It was a great season for them and they deserve the recognition. Also, if possible, it would be nice to have the Mayfair Boys Varsity Track and Field Team as Athlete of the Week as they also defeated Bellflower to place 2nd in the Suburban League behind Cerritos after having a phenomenal season. They brought home many team trophys on Saturday invitationals against many top teams in the LA and Orange Counties and also Inland Empire. PLEASE consider both of these two great teams as they walked away with a great league record and it would be nice to see them get the recognition that rarely get, but deserve.


To all that sent in nominations, thank you.
