Will Bouma, quarterback for the top-ranked Cate School 8-man football team, and Laguna Blanca golfer Jayla Provance were named the Athletes of the Week at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Press Luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe on Monday.

Provance also shot a 32 in the first TVL tournament at Buenaventura.
Bouma threw for six touchdown passes, including the game-winner with 47 seconds left, propelling Cate to a 42-34 victory over Faith Baptist, the No. 2-ranked 8-man football team in Division 2.
Bouma, who has committed to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, has led the Rams to a 6-0 record.
Cate plays undefeated and No. 2-ranked Thacher for the Mt. Pinos League championship on Saturday in Ojai.
