Athlete Of The Week Is Back For The Fall Sports Season

A new high school sports year is here, and one of our favorite ways to recognize local athletes is back with it.

Athlete of the Week returns this fall, giving us another season to highlight the student-athletes making big plays, setting the tone and representing their schools across The County.

From soccer fields and cross country courses to golf matches, volleyball courts and football sidelines, fall sports always gives local fans plenty to follow. Athlete of the Week is our way to help shine a light on the performances, moments and athletes that make each week stand out.

Throughout the season, we will recognize standout student-athletes from across Aroostook County with weekly nominations, voting and winners.

This is a chance for athletes, teams, families, schools and communities to celebrate the work that goes into every week of the season. Sometimes it is the game-winning goal. Sometimes it is a personal-best race, a strong defensive effort, a clutch save, a low round or a player who steps up when their team needs it most.

The first nomination period for the fall season is coming soon, and we will share details on how to submit athletes once nominations officially open.

For now, get ready for another season of local high school sports and another year of recognizing the athletes who help make it special.

Athlete of the Week is back.
