Madawaska’s Gagnon and Wisdom’s Cyr Win Fall Week Seven Athletes of the Week

The votes are in, and Aiden Gagnon of Madawaska and Ellie Cyr of Wisdom are your Fall Week Seven Athletes of the Week.

Gagnon takes the boys honor after putting together a big offensive week for the Madawaska Owls, while Cyr earns the girls award following another high-scoring stretch for the Wisdom Pioneers.

The two emerged from a Week Seven ballot featuring 14 Aroostook County athletes, with seven boys and seven girls receiving recognition for their performances.

Boys Athlete of the Week: Aiden Gagnon, Madawaska

Gagnon was all over the scoresheet during Week Seven.

The Madawaska standout finished with 4 goals and 2 assists across two reported games, highlighted by a huge performance in which he recorded 3 goals and 2 assists for the Owls.

That offensive production earned him a spot on a talented boys ballot and ultimately enough support from voters to take the Week Seven honor.

Congratulations to Aiden Gagnon of Madawaska, your Fall Week Seven Boys Athlete of the Week.

Girls Athlete of the Week: Ellie Cyr, Wisdom

Cyr continued what has been a big offensive season for the Wisdom girls.

During Week Seven, she scored 5 goals across three reported games, including both Wisdom goals in the Pioneers' 2-1 victory over Katahdin.

Her consistent production throughout the week helped earn her the most support on the girls ballot.

Congratulations to Ellie Cyr of Wisdom, your Fall Week Seven Girls Athlete of the Week.
