Week 5 Athlete of the Week: Mia Wilson

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

MIA WILSON, SENIOR, SOFTBALL

Louisburg senior Mia Wilson helped the Lady Cat softball team — both in the field and with the bat — last week in a pair of victories over Osawatomie. Wilson started the first game of the doubleheader last Thursday and struck out 12 batters in a 7-inning victory.

Wilson continued that success at the plate. In the three games (two against Osawatomie and one against Ottawa) she tallied six hits and finished her week with eight runs driven in. A few of those came with one swing of the bat when she hit a 3-run home run in the nightcap of the doubleheader against Osawatomie.

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.
