Asbury Park athlete earns player of the week honors
Wells allowed only one hit in 7 innings in win over Henry Hudson
William Wells, a senior at Asbury Park High School, was named Class B Central Player of the Week by Shore Sports Network for week ending April 5, according to an announcement from district spokesperson Chanta L. Jackson.
As pitcher for the Blue Bishops Baseball team, Wells [shown at right] allowed only one hit in seven innings while striking out eight in Asbury Park’s 4-3 walk-off win against Henry Hudson on April 3. He also went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored.
Wells played football for the Blue Bishops in the fall and was selected to represent the school district by playing in the 2014 Army All Shore Classic game.
He also earned the 42nd Annual Vince Lombardi Award, which recognizes a lineman from each Monmouth County high school football team during a banquet held in March. The event was sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Monmouth County, the American Cancer Society and the Center for Vocational Rehabilitation.
