PLYMOUTH SOUTH ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Congratulations Marykate Bochman & Keven Paul
Marykate Bochman, Cross Country - Marykate Bochman has shown that her hard work over the summer has paid off. She placed 2nd in our meet against Hingham and bettered her 5K time by almost 2 minutes at the Martha's Vineyard Invitational over the weekend. Marykate is a great leader with an incredible work ethic. Marykate is always looking ahead to see how she can improve not only herself but the team as well. Her positive attitude and desire to excel are why she is consistently improving.
Keven Paul, Football - Keven Paul had a stellar varsity debut on Friday versus Chicopee Comp HS. At quarterback, Kevin completed 78% of his passes and threw for a touchdown. On the ground, he rushed 6 times for 83 yards and another score. Keven was just getting started as he would add a 2point reception and an interception on defense to his performance on the night. His leadership on both sides of the ball helped the Panthers football team get out to a 1-0 start.
