Florida Power & Light PNJ Girls Athlete of the Week, Nov. 17-22

The high school sports season barrels headfirst into Thanksgiving week.

Two area teams remain in the FHSAA football playoffs. Pensacola Catholic will play at Bolles in the Region 1-2A final, while Tate will host Chiles in the 4A-7A FIT state semifinals.

Golf wrapped up last week, with West Florida senior Abby Vernier finishing seventh at the 2A state championship. So did cross country, where the Pensacola Christian boys finished second in 1A, winning its first state trophy since 1998.

Pensacola Christian’s Jaimee Tutton and Reagan Smith and Gulf Breeze’s Ashton Dahlem brought home individual medals.

Basketball also started this week and eight boys basketball teams will head to Pensacola Catholic for the EscaRosa Thanksgiving Basketball Invitational on Nov. 24-25.

That means plenty of nominations for Week 14 of the PNJ Athlete of the Week Poll, sponsored by Florida Power & Light. As always, we need you to vote on the boys and girls athlete of the week in Pensacola area.

Last week Pace soccer’s AJ BonJorno won the boys award, while Pensacola Catholic soccer’s Jenna Kisner won the girls award. BonJorno received 51.93 percent of the vote, while Kisner received 57.09 percent of the vote.

Voting closes at 11 a.m. Saturday, and the winners will be announced each Monday after the poll closes. Each weekly winner will be awarded a PNJ Athlete of the Week shirt provided by BSN SPORTS. An athlete can only win one time per season.

Nominees will be accepted via phone or email, but the poll is decided by PNJ staff. Send nominations by Sunday night.
