Northern Santa Barbara County Athletic Round Table again gathered on Monday at Giovanni's to honor athletes from around the area. The Pizza was much appreciated by
Athletes of the Week:
Female Athlete of the Week
Sierra Hohimer, Cabrillo High, Tennis (#1 Singles)
She trailed Santa Ynez’s #2 singles, Nicole Bastanchury, 0-3 in the final set of last Thursday’s LPL girls tennis match at Santa Ynez. She roared back, taking the next six games to win the set 6-3 and win the match 10-8 for the Conqs. The victory put Cabrillo in sole possession of second place in the LPL.
Hohimer, a junior, is very talented, polite, humble, somewhat shy, and was quite surprised to win the award.
Some old-timers like me may remember her uncle, Donnie Hohimer, a running back for Mike Warren at LHS in the 70's. He was not shy in HS if you were wondering.
CJ Cole, St. Joseph, Football (Slotback/Running Back)
The Knights [5-3,2-0 LPL] posted their third straight shutout and have a BYE before hosting Lompoc on Friday night, Oct. 28.
Presenters and Honorees:

"On the football side - This one hurts.
We went to Coast Union, had to win the game, but we lost. We scored on the first drive and the last drive, it was the middle drives that didn't quite get there."
