Athlete of the week

ANDREW HULL

Marian Central

Hull recorded his ninth shutout of the season Monday with a 5-0 win against Vernon Hills in non-conference action.

The Hurricanes’ senior goalkeeper moved into the net this season after playing sweeper last year. He has proved to coach Mike Golda that the move was a smart one, coming up with huge saves during critical moments and cementing himself as one of the area’s best keepers.
