Every Friday we like to award a new Athlete Of The Week and give them something nice. It's just our way of saying thank you for being outstanding in your sport.

If you haven't nominated someone, please do so by clicking HERE.

It doesn't matter what sport, if they shine in what they do then get them nominated. Also, there is no age requirement for this. If that person is drawn, they will get a $30 IHOP Gift Card!

This week the honor go to Brandon Connolly of Laurel High School. He is pictured above  in jersey #66 carrying the homecoming flag for the football team. Best advice he says he can give is to 'Give It Your All' and I think that is very appropriate.

Brandon's favorite pro athlete is Von Miller and says there's nothing like a Cafe Rio Pork Burrito for lunch. He also says he will be playing football for Rocky Mountain College this coming fall.

Congratulations Brandon Connolly for being this week's Athlete Of The Week! You Rock!
