ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Nicah Taylor

Eastern Randolph, football

Taylor has been one of the main playmakers for the Wildcats during their Piedmont Athletic Conference championship season.

Taylor is a receiver who has been one of the primary targets for quarterback Carter Revelle, who has thrown for 30 touchdowns.

The Wildcats (12-1) have won three games in the Class 1-A state playoffs at home. Next is Friday night’s West Region semifinal at Mount Airy.

Taylor also was a key player on Eastern Randolph’s state finalist boys’ basketball team during the last school year.
