Dos Pueblos basketball’s Justin Stock and Carpinteria water polo’s Giulia Piccoletti turned in some big performances to earn this week’s Athlete of the Week honors.
The pairing was honored at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Press Luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe.
Stock was dominant in the Chargers’ 64-60 overtime win over Ventura last week, dropping a game-high 36 points to account for more than half of his team’s points.
He also added in 18 points in a loss to Rio Mesa later in the week to continue his strong scoring season.
Meanwhile, Piccoletti spearheaded a Carpinteria offensive attack that put together a strong showing at the Buena Friendlies Tournament over the weekend.
Across three games, she scored 13 total goals, including four goals in a double-overtime 8-7 win over Beaumont and six goals in a 13-8 victory against Rio Mesa.
The boys honorable mentions were George Marin (Cate Soccer), Javi Elias (San Marcos Soccer), Cash Evers (San Marcos Soccer), Cole Dominguez (San Marcos Wrestling), Luke Zuffelato (Santa Barbara Basketball) and Charlie Sheldon (Laguna Blanca Basketball).
As for the girls, the honorable mentions were Mia Martinez-Tomatis (San Marcos Basketball), Dayzia Mendoza (Santa Barbara Basketball), Jamaica Cook (Carpinteria Basketball), Carly Letendre (Dos Pueblos Basketball), Jordyn Garcia (Laguna Blanca Soccer) and Serenity Stansfield (San Marcos Water Polo).
The Athlete of the Week award winners are selected by the local sports media. Coaches are encouraged to nominate deserving athletes. Nominations should be sent to sports@noozhawk.com by Saturday morning, if possible.
