Athlete of the week

CHARLIE OLIVER
CL South, sophomore

Oliver, a forward, scored both goals in the Gators’ thrilling 2-1 victory against Cary-Grove on Thursday, including the game-winner to help South move into a first-place tie with the Trojans atop the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division standings.

Oliver’s game-winning goal against McHenry on Tuesday helped South seal its first FVC Valley Division title in 12 seasons. Dundee-Crown upset C-G on Tuesday, 1-0, to knock the Trojans out of the running to share the conference crown.
