This athlete of the week deserves the recognition not because of any grand accomplishment on the field or in the weight room. Cole B. gets the award for his heart and determination. He severly broke and dislocated his wrist during the second week of double sessions while playing varsity football locally. Just 2 and 1/2 weeks later he was back on the field competing in practice and games with foam covering his cast! Also, during his injury Cole ran through warm-ups including completing one handed bear crawls so he wouldn’t lose his edge.

You know the young man has to have a lot of heart competing for a starting offensive and defensive line spots with one wrist and weight of 160 lbs soaking wet!
