Our Pro Wire Athlete of the Week for the week of September 26 are Vandalia football quarterback Qwentyn Stombaugh, the Vandalia Jr. High Baseball team, the Altamont Lutheran Interparish School baseball team and CHBC volleyball middle hitter/blocker Allison Shields.
Vandalia quarterback Stombaugh overcame a rough go at times in the annual Pink Bowl game against Greenville and after the Comets took a 27-20 lead after their possession in overtime, Stombaugh was able to find teammate Aydan Carroll in the front right corner of the end zone to pull Vandalia to within one 27-26. On the two point conversion, Stombaugh then scrambled and made his way to the front left corner of the end zone to give the Vandals the 28-27 win as they claimed the Pink Bowl title for the third year in a row.
The Vandalia Jr. High baseball team won its second straight Regional Championship this week, beating Highland 11-2 in the title game of their own Vandalia 3A Regional. The Championship puts them at 17-1-1 on the season and they will play in a Sectional Championship for the second straight year when they face Mt. Zion with a trip to the State Tournament on the line.
Altamont Lutheran Interparish won their first IESA Regional Championship in program history beating Altamont Grade School 10-8 in the Championship of the Nokomis 1A Regional. The title comes as ALIS is just in their second year of competing in the IESA baseball postseason. The Rockets now move on to the Raymond Sectional Championship where they will meet up with Pawnee for the chance to earn a trip to the State Tournament.
CHBC volleyball went 3-0 this week and a steady presence on the floor was sophomore hitter Allison Shields who was strong on both offense and defense for the Lady Bobcats. Shields averaged 9.3 kills and 6.7 digs per match for the week and leads her team in both categories for the season.
