CITY ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Marc Somers
Free State, Sr.

What he did: Not even a recent ice storm could cool off the Firebirds’ talented 140-pounder, who charged through the field Friday and Saturday to win his weight class championship at the Bobcat Classic at Basehor-Linwood.
Danielle Bird
Lawrence High, Jr.
Girls basketball
What she did: Bird played a major role in the lone victory by a city girls basketball team last week, scoring 22 points as the Lions knocked off Shawnee Mission East, 61-44, on Tuesday. She also chipped in six points during Thursday’s loss to Olathe South.
