Week 1 Athlete of the Week: Lexi Hampton

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week one of the spring sports season, sponsored by Edward Jones-Craig Holtzen.

LEXI HAMPTON, SOPHOMORE, GIRLS SOCCER

Louisburg sophomore Lexi Hampton opened the 2022 soccer season with some memorable performances in her first two games. On Friday against Atchison, Hampton scored a team-high five goals, and added an assist, in the Wildcats’ 10-0 victory and earned her second hat trick on the season.

Her first hat trick came a few days earlier as she finished with three goals in a 5-0 victory over Lansing on Mar. 22 in Louisburg’s season opener. Hampton led the Wildcats in goals scored last year as a freshman and is off to a good start this season.

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