Week 8 Athlete of the Week: Brooklyn DeWeese

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week eight of the winter sports season, sponsored by Dr. Laura’s Orthodontics.

BROOKLYN DEWEESE, FRESHMAN, WRESTLING

Louisburg freshman Brooklyn DeWeese has put together a memorable season so far for the Wildcat girls wrestling team. Last Saturday at Ottawa, DeWeese became the first girls wrestler to earn a spot in the Frontier League finals and she finished second overall at 115 pounds.

DeWeese got a pin of Bonner Springs’ Kyle Enriquez in the semifinals. She then faced the Class 4A No. 3 ranked wrestler in Tonganoxie’s Stella Bradley in the championship and lost by pin. On the season, DeWeese has a 29-8 record with 23 of those coming by pin.

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