The News-Press selects athletes that stood out the week before based on a combination of coach reports and school nominations sent to [email protected] and our coverage. Those athletes are put in a poll each Monday on news-press.com and you, our readers, vote on who you think did it best. The winners of The News-Press Athlete of the Week poll sponsored by Elevate Home Services receive a T-shirt provided by BSN Sports and a tote bag provided by USA Today High School Sports Awards. To get to know our winners better, The News-Press will have a question-and-answer session with each athlete weekly.
The News-Press Athlete of the Week sponsored by Elevate Home Services winner for Sept. 9-13 was Riverdale High volleyball player Olivia Znotens. The junior captured 45% of the votes. To be selected for the poll, Znotens had 18 kills, 2 aces, and 22 digs for the Raiders in a 3-1 win against North Fort Myers.
