BELLEVILLE — Senior Carter Scholey was named the Wissports.net Triple Threat Athlete of the Week on Thursday, Jan. 11.

The Triple Threat Athlete of the Week is an honor given on Wissports.net to the top senior boys and girls three-sport athletes in the state. Players are recognized each week on WSN, with a boys and girls winner of the Pat Richter Award at the end of the season to the best three-sport athlete of the year.

“There is always something to do throughout the year, which keeps me entertained and gives me something to work for,” Scholey said of being a three-sport athlete. He also admitted that “having enough energy to compete well in all seasons and managing time” is a challenge.
