Vote for the NWF Daily News Athlete of the Week
Mario Rodriguez's Vikings had one heckuva start to 2024, going 2-0-1 and tying one of the top teams in the nation in Clinton, Missouri. Central to that was Landon Tryon, who delivered the game-winner over Florida High.
Fittingly, the senior is our latest Athlete of the Week after generating more than 20,000 votes in the AOTW latest poll to fend off Paxton's Sawyer Adams. He follows Paxton's Collin Stewart as the AOTW winners for 2024. Who'll follow their lead? That's for you to decide.
The latest poll is below and runs through Friday at 2 p.m. Vote now, vote often.
