Katie Peterson turned in a dominant defensive performance for Dos Pueblos flag football and Asher Smith found plenty of success in the pool for Carpinteria water polo to earn Athlete of the Week honors.
Peterson and Smith were honored at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Press Luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe.
The Chargers flag football team faced off against Oxnard last week, a big matchup between two teams that were undefeated in league entering the day.
Dos Pueblos pulled out the 19-8 win, and Peterson led the way with three interceptions to go along with three catches for 42 yards on the offensive side of the ball.
Smith, meanwhile, opened up the week by leading his Warriors squad to a 10-5 win over Santa Barbara High. In that win, Smith scored four goals.
Later in the week, Smith led the Carpinteria offensive attack at the Buenaventura Tournament, where he rattled off 10 total goals.
The honorable mentions for the girls were Eliana Urzua (Bishop Diego Volleyball), Halle Rillie (Dos Pueblos Volleyball), Atasha Black (Dos Pueblos Volleyball), Nichole Schuetz (Santa Barbara Volleyball), Gwen Chenoweth (Santa Barbara Volleyball), Mina Yazadzhiev (San Marcos Tennis) and Brooklyn Hedricks (Dos Pueblos Flag Football).
On the boys side, the honorable mentions were Mateo Obando (San Marcos Water Polo), Andrew Kline-Fernandez (Dos Pueblos Water Polo), Shane Davis (Santa Barbara Water Polo), Noah Peterson (Bishop Diego Water Polo) and Judah Torres (Carpinteria Football).
