Seniors Sarah Shelton and Clay Hewitt have been named the first Leader Publications Athletes of the Week for the Dowagiac Daily News.
Shelton helped lead Dowagiac to a 3-2 record at the Gull Lake Invitational on Saturday.
Dowagiac reached the Gold Bracket for the first time. Shelton finished the tournament with 22 kills.
Hewitt had a pair of goals as Dowagiac opened its soccer season with a 6-1 victory over host Cassopolis.
All of Dowagiac's goals came in the first half as a severe thunderstorm shortened the match.
Each week one boy and one girl will be selected as the Athlete of the Week.
The athletes are selected from nominations from their coaches.
