ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Lorenzo Alston

Uwharrie Charter Academy, wrestling

Alston’s historic high school career on the mats concluded with his fourth individual state championship.

It was quite a week because he received awards as the top wrestler in two events across a five-night period.

He was recognized with an individual award at the conclusion of the Class 4A dual team championships, which had been postponed. Then he received similar honors as the Most Outstanding Wrestler in Class 4A in the individual state tournament Saturday night in Greensboro.
