ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Samuel Asbill

Eastern Randolph, baseball

Asbill gave a strong pitching performance in one of Eastern Randolph’s two road victories last week in the Class 1-A state playoffs.

Asbill, a junior right-hander, was listed for throwing 103 pitches when the Wildcats defeated Mt. Airy.

This marks the second year in a row that the Wildcats have secured two victories in the state playoffs. Before that, they hadn’t won a state-playoff game since 2013.
