Zach Martin, River Hill, football
Boys Athlete of the Week
Martin, a cornerstone of River Hill's defense for the past three years, capped a marvelous career by leading the top-ranked Hawks to the Class 2A state championship by a 14-7 score over No. 6 Eastern Tech (13-1) on Saturday. Playing on a sprained left ankle that did not allow him to practice Friday, Martin made 12 solo tackles and assisted on five others at linebacker. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior led the Hawks (14-0) to their first state title after they lost in the 3A final in 2006. River Hill tied the state season record for shutouts (11) and gave up only 21 points all season.
Others considered // Sean Farr, Dunbar, football; Tony Mack, Owings Mills, wrestling; Sean Mosley, St. Frances, basketball; Arinze Obiako, Arundel, football; Malek Redd, River Hill, football.
