ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Hayden Hemming

Wheatmore, boys’ soccer 

Hemming turned in an incredible week by scoring seven goals across two games. 

The sophomore midfielder scored three goals in a 5-3 loss to visiting Southwestern Randolph. Then Hemming was even more productive two days later by posting four goals in a 5-3 victory against host Uwharrie Charter Academy.  

That result marked the Warriors’ first PAC victory of the year and their third triumph overall. 

Hemming has been Wheatmore’s leading scorer, with about half of the team’s total goals this season. 

A year ago on the Warriors’ powerhouse team, Hemming was credited with nine goals in his freshman season. That was the team’s top goal total among non-seniors. His seven assists in 2022 were the fourth-highest total on the team.
