Week 8 Athlete of the Week: A.J. Arriola

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week eight of the spring sports season, sponsored by Louisburg Family Dental.

A.J. ARRIOLA, SENIOR, GOLF

It was quite the week for Louisburg senior A.J. Arriola. In a span of six days, Arriola competed in three tournaments and medaled in each of them, but none bigger than Monday’s regional tournament in Fort Scott. Arriola shot a personal best 78 to finish as the regional runner-up and helped the Wildcats qualify for state for the third consecutive season.

Last week, Arriola competed at both the Anderson County and Prairie View Invitationals and medaled in each. He finished sixth in Garnett last Tuesday, and later took ninth at Prairie View on Thursday. In all, Arriola has medaled in seven meets 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.
