Haley Mesaros


BOYS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Brendan Casper
Methacton
Basketball

What he has done
Casper reached a personal milestone for his scholastic hoop career last week, reaching the 1,000-point plateau in the Warriors’ win over Boyertown. It capped a big week for the Methacton senior, who had a combined 44 points and 32 rebounds in three games his team won in its bid to go unbeaten in the Pioneer Athletic Conference’s regular season.

What he says
“It was nice to have that accomplishment ... get it over before the playoffs started. I knew it was going to be close toward the end of the season. I scored a little more than I was expecting to score.”

GIRLS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Haley Mesaros
Pope John Paul II
Girls Basketball

What she has done
Senior wing erupted for a career-high 23 points, highlighted by four 3-pointers, to lead the Golden Panthers to a 56-46 victory over Upper Perkiomen that clinched the Frontier Division title. The 5-foot-7 Mesaros, who missed five games due to a stress fracture in her foot, ranks second on the squad with a 9.8 scoring average.

What she says
“I just try to provide offense and also play good defense and help my teammates.”
