Athens High School senior Noah Bush, who plays running back and linebacker for the varsity football team, received the American State Bank Player of the Week Award Thursday. It was presented in response to Bush’s stellar performance when the Hornets defeated Brownsboro Nov. 4 at home. His stats in that game: 22 carries for 166 yards, three touchdowns, 21 tackles, 1 quarterback sack and three quarterback pressures. “Noah well deserves this award,” said Head Football Coach Paul Essary. “He’s the prime example of a team player. His work ethic is unmatched, and you can count on him to do what needs to be done for the team.” Along with the trophy, Bush received a $2,500 college scholarship. (Toni Garrard Clay/AISD)
