Student athletes from a pair of undefeated teams have been named the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athletes of the Week.
Marcus Chan of Bishop Diego football and Avery Ball of Dos Pueblos girls lacrosse were honored Monday at the SBART’s outdoor press luncheon at The Creekside Restaurant.
Chan, a junior running back and linebacker, helped Bishop Diego wins its fourth straight game of the five-weel spring football season. He scored three touchdowns, rushed for 150 yards and intercepted a pass on defense in the Cardinals’ 43-22 win at defending CIF state champion Bakersfield Christian.
Ball led undefeated Dos Pueblos to a pair of wins over Royal and Simi Valley, improving the Chargers to 4-0. Against Royal, the sophomore scored seven goals in an 11-10 victory in overtime, including the game-tying goal in regulation and the game winner in overtime. She had four goals and two assists in an 11-3 decision over Simi Valley.
The female honorable mention choices this week are Sophia Ostovany (Santa Barbara High tennis), Ella Kenny (Dos Pueblos track), Athena Saragoza (Santa Barbara basketball), Madden Hundley (Westmont cross country), Meiya Sidney (San Marcos lacrosse).
The other male candidates include Buddy Melgoza (Bishop Diego football), Ryan Speshyock (Dos Pueblos baseball), Vincent Rinaldi (Carpinteria track) and Rodney Boone (UCSB baseball).
