Dos Pueblos water polo’s Lucas Neushul and Bishop Diego tennis’ Haley Hubbs led their teams to big playoff wins last week en route to being named the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athletes of the Week.
The pairing was honored at Monday’s SBART Press Luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe.
Neushul has been a standout player for the Chargers on both ends of the pool all season, and that has continued into the postseason thus far.
Last week, the junior scored a team-high five goals, including the game-winner, in an 11-10 overtime victory over Buena in the CIF-SS Div. 1 Semifinals.
Hubbs has also carried over her regular season success into the playoffs, helping lead her team to first and second-round wins last week over YULA and Alhambra, respectively.
She went a combined 6-0 in singles play across the two matchups, losing just one game along the way.
The boys honorable mentions were Owen Abbott (DP Cross Country), Phillip Contakes (DP Cross Country), Wyatt Degner (SM Cross Country), Sam Crawford (Bishop Football), Lorenzo Russell (SB Water Polo) and Jack Kramer (SM Water Polo).
The girls honorable mentions were Oyin Opawumi (Cate Volleyball), Nicole Buist (SB Tennis), Natalie Chan (Bishop Tennis), Elsie Tuttle (SM Cross Country), Cate Bishop (DP Cross Country) and Jacqueline Guadian (Carp Cross Country).
