Athletes of the week

(Published during the high school sports season)

(For the week of Oct. 27 through Nov. 2)

Boys

Trenton Griffith (Sr.) Middletown High School football

Playing perhaps his final game at Bill Foltmer Field, Middletown running back Trenton Griffith went out in style Friday night while facing the Clear Lake Cardinals in the North Central League I and regular-season finale for the Mustangs. Griffith rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown while also returning the second-half kickoff 82 yards for another score. Middletown will find out next Sunday if it has secured an at-large berth in the North Coast Section playoffs and who, when and where it will be playing.

Girls

AJ Wurm (Sr.) Kelseyville High School volleyball

AJ (Ashlyn) Wurm recorded 26 digs, many of them momentum changing, Saturday night as the Kelseyville Knights turned back the Eureka Loggers, a Division 3 team, during a four-set back in the North Coast Section Division 4 volleyball playoffs at Kelseyville High School. Several hard hits by Eureka’s big hitters were dug up the senior as the Knights punched their ticket for the sectional semifinals on Wednesday at home against Urban. Earlier in the week against Newark Memorial, a Division 2 team, Wurm had another 21 digs and four aces during a four-set victory in opening-round action.
