When not in a pool or on the soccer field, you might find Kailen Craddock on horseback. Craddock wasn’t named women’s varsity WIZS Player of the Week for her equestrian skills but for her work in the pool at Vance Charter. The sophomore swimmer placed 3rd in the regionals and 13th overall after turning in a time of 116.15 in the 100 meter breaststroke. Her performance was good enough to make her this week’s women’s player of the week.
For the men’s varsity player of the week, the honor goes to Drew Rogers, a senior basketball player at Crossroads Christian. Rogers is averaging 20 points per game. On February 4th he scored 20 against Lee Christian and last night he scored 25 in the semi-finals of the Mid Carolina Conference tournament also against Lee Christian. His performance for the team makes him the men’s varsity player of the week. Tonight Crossroads Christian plays Grace Christian for the conference championship.
The WIZS Players of the Week can be heard every Friday at 1 p.m. during the Coach’s Corner segment of Sportstalk on WIZS 1450AM, 100.1FM and online at wizs.com. Congratulations to both Kailen Craddock and Drew Rogers.
