A pair of Dos Pueblos seniors were honored as the Athletes of the Week at the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table press luncheon on Monday.
Wrestler Ryan Fidel and girls basketball player Camila Casanueva received the awards for their performances in tournaments over the weekend.
Fidel, a two-time Channel League champion, went 5-0, winning four matches by pins, at the Corona del Mar Duals. He helped the Chargers finish in second place in the team competition. They lost a 34-30 decision against athletic powerhouse Corona-Centennial in the final.
Casanueva started her senior season on a high note, leading the Dos Pueblos girls basketball team to the championship at the Ruth Doser Classic in Atascadero. She had 23 points in an opening win over Mission Prep, 17 against Morro Bay in the semifinals and dished out 13 assists in title-game victory over North Bakersfield.
Casanueva, a returning All-CIF player, was named the tournament MVP
The honorable mention choices for the Athlete of the Week awards include Milan McGary (San Marcos girls basketball), Taylor Beckman (Westmont volleyball), Anna Cable (Dos Pueblos water polo), Heymar Hernandez (Santa Barbara boys soccer) and Gianni Madrigal (Providence basketball).
