Former Cienega standout Terrell Huggins (Pima) was named ACCAC D-I Player of the Week after he hit .455 (5-11) including two home runs, a double and six RBIs.
Former Flowing Wells standout Noah Estrella (Pima) was named ACCAC D-I Pitcher of the Week after he pitched seven innings in a shutout over Cochise, allowing just four hits while striking out five and walking none.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
