PIERRE – Volleyball’s Remington Price and football’s Jayden Wiebe are the Pierre Athletic Coaches Association-Avera Athletes of the Week for the week ending September 18.
Price specializes in defense, but contributes as a hitter, even though she stands just 5’6”. Price leads the Governors in aces with 22. Head coach Tiffany Stoeser said, “Most teams would not play someone in the front as small as Remi but her continued effort to prove everyone wrong is why we need Remi on the floor. She is quickly becoming a leader to this group and her competitiveness that is now spilling on to others is just what we need to create tradition in the Governor Volleyball program. Remi is not afraid to take a big swing on game point or make an aggressive serve when we need it most. Remi is a small player with a huge heart.”
Wiebe had a 55-yard punt return touchdown in Pierre’s 43-0 win at Douglas on September 17 and starts at cornerback. Head Coach Steve Steele said, “Jayden has really stepped up and been a leader as the season has progressed. On top of his leadership, he has been a great player on the field. We are very thankful for his leadership and work ethic as it has continued to make the entire team better. He holds himself to a high standard of excellence and continues to raise his own expectations each day, epitomizing the attitude we seek as a team.”
