ATHLETES OF THE WEEK: CHRIS COLE

Chris Cole

School: Cape Central

Sport: Soccer

Coach: Tom Doyle

Week Report: Cole, a junior, scored eight goals and added two assists in five games last week. He scored four goals against Farmington, two against Belleville-Althoff and two against Sikeston.

Season Report: Cole has 13 goals and nine assists in 21 games this season.

Coach's comments: "He's made some good cuts and good runs last week," Doyle said. "The main thing to me, is what you do without the ball and he's moving well without the ball to get shots off. He's got a good attitude and is a hard worker. Some people seem to have a nose for the goal and I'd say that is the case for him and he's got decent speed so sometimes he'll beat a guy one-on-one or he'll run past a guy. This is his third year on varsity and this has been his best year. We're looking for him to finish this year strong and have a super year next year also."
