Each week two athletes in North Carolina High School Athletic Association competition are selected for this award from nominations received from media and school administrators.

Cahill, a senior at Laney, won the NCHSAA Central Regional Golf Championship carding a 73 on Pinehurst No. 1. During the regular season Caroline led the Buccaneers women’s golf team to their second consecutive conference championship and was named player of the year in the conference. She has committed to play collegiately golf at UNC-Wilmington.

Alexander, a senior at Thomas Jefferson and a member of the cross country and soccer teams, ran in the Southern Piedmont Conference 1A Championship. His time of 16:34 completing the course at Fisher Farms in Davidson won the race and set a new school record. He was named the SPC Runner of the year for the fourth year in a row. On the soccer field, Alexander netted a pair of hat tricks, one on the day before and one the day after the race.
