ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Lara Wiseman

Providence Grove, volleyball

Wiseman was among the leaders as Providence Grove went 3-0 last week.

Wiseman, a senior hitter, is the team leader in kills. She had the top mark in that category as the Patriots produced sweeps of Eastern Randolph, Jordan-Matthews and Chatham Charter.

Those results pushed Providence Grove to a 5-3 record entering September, putting the Patriots within two victories of last season’s total.

Next week, the Patriots begin play in the new Central Carolina 3-A Conference.

Wiseman is also a softball standout, earning all-conference honors in the spring in that sport in the former Piedmont Athletic Conference.
