Harrison, McCutcheon Tri-County — who has your vote for J&C Athlete of the Week?

LAFAYETTE — Four students including a freshmen jumper proved their status as the top athletes from the period that encompassed April 15 through April 20.

Meet the four J&C Athlete of the Week nominees.

Logan Marsell

School: McCutcheon

Sport: Baseball

Class: Senior

Team contributions: McCutcheon is red hot once again with the backing of Marsell's bat. Marsell went 3 for 7 with four RBI combined against Kankakee Valley last Friday and Zionsville last Saturday. Marsell's defense in the outfield has been another key layer for McCutcheon that has won 10 straight games and enters its 2-game series against Kokomo entering Tuesday. Marsell also led the Mavericks to their first regular season sweep of Harrison since 2021.

Andrew Hostetler

School: Harrison

Sport: Volleyball

Class: Senior

Team contributions: Hostetler has been on a tear since Harrison fell to Lafayette Jeff at home on April 11. Hostetler has responded by leading Harrison to five consecutive wins over McCutcheon last Tuesday and against Kankakee Valley, Hammond Bishop Noll, Lawrence North and Covenant Christian last Saturday. Hostetler had 12 kills against McCutcheon, 11 against Kankakee Valley and 15 against Covenant Christian while posting a kill percentage of 40% or better in four of five games.

Maddi Nevett

School: Tri-County

Sport: Softball

Team contributions: Nevett has the Cavaliers riding momentum with seven straight wins since losing its season opener to Harrison 14-2. Nevett hit a walkoff home run to beat defending IHSAA Class 1A Regional and Sectional champion Kouts 14-12. Nevett tossed a five inning shutout against North White with nine strikeouts and tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts to beat defending Class 1A Sectional champion Delphi 7-3 last Saturday.

Sabrina Willis

School: Harrison

Sport: Track and Field

Class: Freshman

Team contributions: Willis is emerging on the track scene and earned top finishes in the long jump and 100 meters at the West Lafayette Relays last Saturday and a home meet against North Montgomery last Tuesday.
