Seaforth girls’ soccer’s Katie Leonard earns athlete of the week honors for the week of May 20.
In No. 4 Seaforth’s big win over No. 1 Franklin Academy in the 2A East regional semifinal Thursday, Leonard, a sophomore goalie, made plenty of huge saves to keep the Patriots out of the net.
On a smaller field against a talented Franklin Academy team, Leonard saw more shots come her way after the Hawks took a 1-0 lead in the second half. She held strong, though, and she even saved a free kick with just over 11 minutes left to play, shrinking Franklin Academy’s chances of tying the game. According to MaxPreps, Leonard leads the team this season with over 72 saves.
