Aug. 29—Hunter Hensley opened his junior season with one heck of a performance that spearheaded one heck of a comeback.

The West Point quarterback completed 8-of-20 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns — those went to Parker Marks and Noah Bryan, respectively — and added 140 yards and three touchdowns — those scores covered 5, 11 and 38 yards, respectively — on 16 carries to help the Warriors erase a 20-point, first-quarter deficit en route to a 49-32 road victory against Good Hope.

With an outing like that, it's no wonder he's The Times' Athlete of the Week.

Athlete of the Week, which is sponsored by Mitch Smith Chevrolet, is open to all local athletes.

Nominations can be sent to jwinfrey@cullmantimes.com with the person's name, school and statistics.
