Week 3 Athlete of the Week: Danny Napier

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

DANNY NAPIER, FRESHMAN, BASEBALL

Louisburg freshman Danny Napier put himself in the Wildcat baseball history books last week. Napier became the first Wildcat player to hit three home runs in one game last Thursday during the Wildcats’ win at Wellsville. Along with the three home runs, Napier also had 9 RBIs in the victory.

In the second game against the Eagles, he also recorded an RBI double, which gave him 10 RBIs for the doubleheader. Napier also did some damage on the defensive end. As the team’s starting catcher, Napier threw two runners out from behind the plate.

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.
