🏈 A-TOWN TORNADO ATHLETE OF THE WEEK 🌪️

Congratulations to senior football player Weston Shultz, this week’s A-Town Tornado Athlete of the Week!

While the Tornadoes’ offense has drawn plenty of attention during their 4-1 start, Weston has made his presence felt on the defensive side of the ball.

In the Tornadoes’ win over United, Weston again led the team in tackles, recording 10 tackles, 2 sacks, and 3 tackles for loss. 💪

Weston continues to be a key contributor to the Tornadoes’ success, bringing physicality, effort, and consistency to the defense every Friday night.

Congratulations, Weston! Keep making an impact! 🌪️🏈🖤💛
