Brennan LaVelle, a senior forward for the Chatham Charter boys’ basketball team, earns athlete of the week honors for the week of Nov. 11.
In the Knights’ 62-58 overtime win over NCSSM-Durham on Nov. 11, LaVelle recorded a 28-point, 20-rebound double-double to help his team pull out the close win. Both the 28 points and the 20 rebounds were career highs for LaVelle.
LaVelle is looking for a huge bounce back season after suffering a season-ending injury towards the end of last year. Through the first four games of the season as of Monday, LaVelle is averaging 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
