Louisburg sophomore Declan Battle was a big reason for the Wildcats’ come-from-behind 34-28 overtime victory against Tonganoxie. The Wildcat quarterback accounted for four touchdowns and totaled 212 yards through air and on the ground. He also ran in two 2-point conversions.

Battle guided the Wildcats as they rallied from 15 points down at halftime to secure their first victory of the season in their home opener on Friday.

The athlete of the week award is announced every Wednesday morning during the fall season and the winner is selected by Louisburg Sports Zone with the help of nominations from coaches.
