Van Buren’s Violette and Presque Isle’s Plant Named Fall Week Three Athletes of the Week
Another week of standout performances across Aroostook County is in the books, and two more athletes have earned Athlete of the Week honors.
Alex Violette of Van Buren and Hailey Plant of Presque Isle are the Fall Week Three Athletes of the Week.
Violette earns the boys honor after a huge three-game stretch for the Crusaders, while Plant takes the girls honor after delivering both goals in a Presque Isle shutout victory.
Boys Athlete of the Week: Alex Violette, Van Buren
Violette put together one of the biggest offensive weeks of the fall season.
The Van Buren standout finished Week Three with six goals and four assists across three victories.
He opened the week with two goals and two assists in a 6-1 win over Houlton, added two more goals in a 5-1 victory over Schenck, then closed the week with another two-goal, two-assist performance in an 8-0 win at East Grand.
That gave Violette 10 direct goal contributions in three games and helped Van Buren go 3-0 during the Week Three window.
Congratulations, Alex!
Girls Athlete of the Week: Hailey Plant, Presque Isle
Plant came through in a big way for Presque Isle against Foxcroft Academy.
She scored both goals in the Lady Wildcats' 2-0 victory, providing all of the offense in the shutout win.
Her two-goal performance helped Presque Isle pick up another important early-season victory and earned Plant the Fall Week Three Girls Athlete of the Week honor.
Congratulations, Hailey!
