WIAA honors Sprague
JOYCE — Crescent senior running back/linebacker Dom Sprague racked up the rushing yards in his final football game as a Logger and has received recognition as a WIAA Athlete of the Week.
Sprague rushed 31 times for 312 yards on the ground, scoring on runs of 8, 16 and 25 yards. He also tallied 22 tackles defensively (10 solo), a sack, recovered a fumble and deflected a pass.
“His leadership will be missed on the team as he is a senior and will be hard to replace,” Sprague’s nomination said.
He will receive a $25 gift certificate, a letter of recognition from the WIAA executive director and a certificate of achievement.
Sprague also was recognized as the Swain’s Athlete of the Week for the week of Nov. 12 by the Peninsula Daily News.
