A dominant performance on the mound highlighted this week’s Apple Dental Center High School Athlete of the Week.
Gregory-Portland baseball player Dominic Guerra delivered a standout outing in the Wildcats’ District 29-5A matchup against Veterans Memorial.
Guerra threw seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out seven in a 2-0 victory last week at Whataburger Field.
Guerra received 3,102 votes, accounting for 57.69% of the 5,377 votes cast.
Rockport-Fulton track and field athlete Adyson Burton finished second with 1,390 votes and Refugio baseball player Laytyn Garza was third with 515 votes.
