With all the talk about the best athlete, I was wondering who you thought were the most underrated athletes in the SVC. Who should get more publicity from fans for being one the elite athletes?
Great question! On the boys’ side, Westfall’s Alek Stonerock jumps out at me. He is all-league in football, basketball, and baseball. I believe he is the only boy to be named to an all league team in three sports. Alek is a big, strong athlete who is going to dominate three sports over the next two years. Westfall is also going to be amongst the best team in all three sports, so Alek is going to start getting plenty of attention. I would also include Paint Valley’s Logan Markko on the boys’ side. He was all-league in cross country and basketball, and despite missing the all-league honors in track, he had great postseason success in Division III. Markko is a 6-5 athlete who has done a lot to make a variety of sports successful at a small school.
As for girls, I would have to say Southworth in some ways; however, I do think most fans and media recognize her as a great athlete. Perhaps the most overlooked athlete is Adena’s Brytan Givens. The senior just missed the all-league squad in cross country before earning the honor in both basketball and softball. Givens has been a consistent performer on the hardwood and the diamond and has been a part of a lot of winning for the two-shade blue.
