Week 3 Athlete of the Week: Ashton Moore

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

ASHTON MOORE, SENIOR, FOOTBALL

Louisburg senior Ashton Moore provided a big lift for the Wildcat football team in its 8-point victory over Clay Center last Friday. Moore, who has played mainly defense to start the season, was put in at running back late in the first half and it paid off in a big way for Louisburg.

Moore tallied 135 yards on 14 carries, with many of those coming in the second half, and scored the game’s go-ahead touchdown in the Wildcats’ 23-15 victory over Clay Center. He also caught a 2-point conversion from Alex Saad following the score and finished the game with five tackles at the linebacker spot.

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.
