The G & G/PSHS female athlete of the week is junior Lexy Halpin.
Over last week’s vacation, Halpin struck out 10 batters contributing greatly to the Softball Team’s victory over Falmouth. She also went 3 for 6 with 3 RBIs. Later in the week Halpin pitched a perfect game in a 5 inning decision and led the way offensively going 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and 4 RBI’s.
The G & G/PSHS Male Athlete of the Week is senior Kenneth Fantasia.
Fantasia is a back-up goaltender, who has been with the team for four years and is the one player who is always positive through good times and bad times. In addition, he’s always the first to help out younger hockey players, especially the goaltenders, even if it means giving younger goalies more game time than he gets himself. No one could ask for a better teammate.
The G & G/PSHS Female Athlete of the week is senior Rebecca Laudermilk.
Rebecca Laudermilk is an essential part of the success of the Girls’ Basketball Program. As one of the captains, she has shown tremendous leadership. The ultimate role player in basketball, Laudermilk rebounds, plays team defense, makes great passes, and scores when given the opportunity. It is very difficult to remove her from the court, because she always helps the team play better and is always consistent.
The G & G/PSHS Female Athlete of the week is junior Jenna Ketterer.
Ketterer excelled in her beam routine during the first Gymnastics meet of the season. An essential member of the team, Ketterer received a 9.0, which was the highest score of the meet. She is a very motivating captain as well.
The G & G/PSHS Male Athlete of the Week is Colin McHugh.
McHugh is a senior and part of the Winter Track team. In spite of a broken wrist he received the prior Saturday, he returned Wednesday night only to win the high jump and hurdles against Sandwich.
The G & G/PSHS Male Athlete of the Week is junior Dylan O’Connell.
O’Connell, backbone of the hockey team, continues to play outstanding in net. During last week’s games, we played against some tough offensive teams and O’Connell turned away close to 100 shots on net. In addition, O’Connell’s work ethic and positive attitude make him one of South’s top leaders.
The G & G/PSHS Female Athlete of the week is Melissa Connolly.
Connolly has been a terrific senior leader and captain who helps her teammates both in and out of school. In addition to all the effort she puts into her dancing, Connolly also helped edit the team’s music last week. She has really stepped up this season.
The G & G/PSHS Female Athlete of the week is freshman Madison Norris.
In the recent win against defending ACL League Champs, Falmouth, Norris excelled on offense. During the game she hit six 3-pointers on her way to scoring a high of 26 points - the majority of points coming in the third quarter, when Falmouth sat back in a zone. All the while her teammates did a great job finding the open Norris who drained the 3’s helping Panthers increase the lead of their 1 half-time point. The Lady Panthers won the game 61-47! Nice work, Maddie!

Congratulations, Shane!
