Athletes of the Week
A Hillsborough baseball player is doing everything he can with limited effect while a Tampa Catholic lacrosse player paved the way for her team's success.
Female Athlete of the Week: Bernadette Leone
The Tampa Catholic High Schooll girls lacrosse team made it to the final of the state playoffs thanks to the efforts of captain and leading scorer Leone.
The Lady Crusaders would lose in the final but it was an incredible run for a team that had only a handful of seniors.

Leone led the team in scoring with 45 goals and 17 asssists heading into the state tournament. She is the pulse of the Lady Crusaders attack and an experienced leader.
"She is really something," Tampa Catholic lacrosse coach Tim McGroff said. "She was amazing for us this year. We just tried to give her chances and whenever we did she took them."

Male Athlete of the Week: Devin Lee
It's been a rough year for Hillsborough High School's pitchers, but Devin Lee's number tell a story of their own.
The senior Terrier starter has only mustered two victories this season, but the fault falls at the feet of his teammates who have failed to give Lee much support. His ERA is currently around 3.01. Of the 32 runs he had allowed going into Tuesday's loss to Alonso, only 18 of them were earned.
He leads the team in strikeouts this season and threw the only complete game of any Terrier pitcher in a 3-2 win over Freedom on March 1.
