Florida Power & Light PNJ Boys Athlete of the Week, March 16-21
Choose from athletes from Tate, Pace, Milton and more for this week's Florida Power & Light Boys Athlete of the Week.
The Florida Power & Light PNJ Athlete of the Week continues this week, but with a slight twist as both Escambia and Santa Rosa County schools on spring break. There will only be a boys athlete of the week award this week, as there weren’t enough girls events for a separate award. Plenty of baseball teams were in action, while only Gulf Breeze softball and a couple area track athletes competed at invitational meets.
Pace baseball was the top performing area team this week, winning the Aggie Classic championship. The Patriots, who were ranked No. 1 in 6A in the March 10 FHSAA rankings, outscored their three pool play opponents 37-7 before beating Blanchard, Oklahoma 5-3 in the championship game.
Tate also went 4-0 at its home event, finishing in third place. Last week, Escambia baseball’s Clayton Sanders won the boys award and Pace softball’s Gracie Ueberroth won the girls award. Sanders received 94.
71% of the vote, while Ueberroth received 60. 83% of the vote. Voting closes at 11 a.
