Jordan Aguirre Santos

Brookland-Cayce soccer star Jordan Aguirre Santos had a strong showing last week for the Bearcats.

Aguirre Santos scored two goals in the team’s 9-0 win over Lower Richland last Friday. He helped put a goal on the board in the team’s 3-2 loss over A.C. Flora as well, registering an assist.

The sophomore’s performance helped Brookland-Cayce improve to 2-0 in their region. Aguirre Santos will look to continue his impressive play this week as Brookland-Cayce looks to improve its record. The team sits at 5-6 entering this week but 2-0 in its region.

The Bearcats will play two games this week, including a contest against region rival Dreher. 

Robyn Craig

Lexington softball’s Robyn Craig earned Athlete of the Week after connecting on a pitch for a walk-off hit against North Augusta last week.

Craig hit .500 during the game going 2-4, with a run and the game-winning RBI. Her hit in the seventh inning gave Lexington a 5-4 victory.

She has been a pivotal piece in the lineup this season for the Wildcats. The team has three games scheduled this week, giving Craig plenty of opportunities to continue her impressive start.
