Brittany Mock
Grade: Junior
Sport: Softball
Athlete of the week achievement: Mock went 3-for-4 with two doubles and six RBIs in Chestnut Ridge's 16-1 win over Windber in four innings in the District 5 Class AA championship game. She also made a sparkling diving catch to her left at shortstop for an out.
Coach Chuck Corle's quote: "It's a good time for her to be turning it on. She plays third base when Alana Weyant pitches, and she plays shortstop when Stefanie McCoy pitches. She's the No. 5 hitter, and Brittany has been driving in a lot of runs and been very solid for us."
