PIERRE – Volleyball’s Miah Kienholz and Football’s Maguire Raske are the Pierre Athletic Coaches Association-Avera Athletes of the Week for August 31-September 5.
In a four-set win over Mitchell that improved Governor Volleyball to 3-0, Kienholz had two aces and was 18 of 19 serving while leading Pierre with 23 assists. In nominating Miah, Head Coach Kacy Kienholz said, “Miah is showing great leadership and maturity on the court, being able to recognize situations across the net to help her team find success.”
For the second straight game, Raske led Governor football with a big rushing effort, going for 171 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-14 win over West Central. He also had three tackles, including a sack. Head Coach Steve Steele wrote of Raske, “His experience and leadership have paid off big to start the season. He has also stepped into being a two-way starter in a big way this season bookending the defense opposite Regan Bollweg. While this should be a big season for Maguire, last Friday he was a crucial part on both sides to the victory.” Raske has 300 yards rushing and seven touchdowns in the season’s first two games.
