For the second time, a Waltonville Spartan has won player of the week. This time, it is senior Gage Peterson winning our Joe’s Pizza & Pasta Player of the Week for January 19-24.

The Woodlawn Cardinals opened their season with a 66–46 win over Metro-East Lutheran, and honestly they looked in control pretty much the whole night. The biggest difference was the defense. Woodlawn’s length and activity threw Metro-East off from the start, forcing over 20 turnovers.
