BUCYRUS — The Crawford County Now Athletes of the Week presented by River’s Edge Embroidery, Screen Printing and Signs have been selected for Feb. 4-9, 2019.
The two honorees for the athletes of the week are two individuals who are constants when it comes to discussing the top basketball players in the area.
The Crawford County Now boy athlete of the week is Gavin Feichtner of the Colonel Crawford High School boys basketball team.
Feichtner had himself quite the weekend Feb. 8-9, finishing with two double-double performances.
On Feb. 8, he helped the Eagles defeat Bucyrus, 62-36, by finishing with 16 points, 13 rebounds and two assists. His offensive efforts continued Feb. 9 at Ridgedale where Feichtner finished with 32 points, 13 rebounds and two steals in a 62-41 Eagles win.
The girls athlete of the week honor is awarded to a senior who has been a staple in her team’s success for a while.
The honor is presented to Marina Adachi of the Seneca East High School girls basketball team.
Adachi stepped up Feb. 8 in a 63-56 double-overtime win for the Lady Tigers against Buckeye Central.
The win clinched Seneca East’s first girls’ basketball league title in nearly 40 years.
With Seneca East’s top average scorer in foul trouble, Adachi showed why she is the Lady Tigers’ best 3-point scorer, hitting four 3-point baskets to keep Seneca East in the game.
She finished with 22 points in the game.
