City athletes of the week
Chucky Hunter
Free State High, Jr.
Football
What he did: The Firebirds’ leading rusher this season turned in his best game to date last week at Shawnee Mission East. Hunter, who has 10 total TDs on the season, carried 25 times for 128 yards – both career highs – and added three touchdowns in the victory.
Mallory West
Lawrence High, Sr.
Gymnastics
What she did: Talk about saving her best for last. In Monday’s all-around invitational at LHS, West won the event with career nights in all five events. West has been a force for the Lions all season and figures to lead the team’s charge toward a state title in the coming weeks.
