Home run: Chiles baseball star Will McDonald is your Campus USA Credit Union Athelte of the Week
The polls are closed and we have a new winner for the Campus USA Credit Union Athlete of the Week.
After another close week of voting, there is a new name to add to the winner's list as Chiles baseball star Will McDonald takes home the Campus USA Credit Union Athlete of the Week honors for Apr 29 - May 4 after his district tournament heroics for the Timberwolves.
McDonald went 2-for-3, with an RBI and home run, while throwing seven scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out 10 in a 3-0 district semifinal win over Crestview. He followed that up with a 2-for-3 night, with 3 RBI and a homerun in Chiles's 5-1 district title game win over Mosley.
Congratulations to McDonald and the finalist Myles Bailey (Lincoln baseball), Noah Miller (North Florida Christian baseball), Emma Vickers (Aucilla Christian softball), Amanda Thompson (St. John Paul II softball), Charley Butler (Wakulla softball) and Mason Plain (Madison County baseball)!
