Southeast Missourian athlete of the week: Notre Dame's Trever Foltz

Notre Dame junior Trever Foltz added another honor to his impressive wrestling season.

The 182-pounder won the title at the SEMO Conference meet when he pinned Farmington's Daktoa Kee in 5 minutes, 8 seconds Saturday.

Foltz enjoyed an 11-3 lead in the third period when he finally finished Kee.

"You always work toward a pin," Foltz said. "I just wanted to do everything I could."

Foltz only has suffered one loss this season. He also captured the title at the Tiger Classic earlier this season.

"It's good to keep the momentum rolling," Foltz said after pinning Kee. "I feel like I wrestled pretty good."

Foltz collected a pair of victories at a double dual earlier in the week. He won by forfeit in the Bulldogs' 41-28 win over Anna-Jonesboro then only needed 19 seconds to pin Avery Gardner in the Bulldogs' 47-24 victory over Festus.

Foltz is a two-time state qualifier. He will get a chance to earn a third consecutive trip to the state meet at the Class 2 District 1 meet Feb. 11 at De Soto.
